Description
I discuss the production of bosonic dark matter by light primordial black holes via superradiance, alongside Hawking emission. In particular, I will show that the resulting dark matter clouds may, under certain conditions, survive as self-gravitating (microscopic) boson stars after the black holes evaporate completely (before BBN). I will also discuss some of the potential implications of this mechanism for dark matter detection and phenomenology.
