(Not)-constraining heavy asymmetric bosonic dark matter

Recently, constraints on bosonic asymmetric dark matter have been imposed based on the existence of old neutron stars, excluding dark matter masses in the range from similar to 2 keV up to several GeV. The constraints are based on the star destruction scenario where the dark matter particles captured by the star collapse, forming a black hole that eventually consumes the host star. In addition, there were claims in the literature that similar constraints can be obtained for dark matter masses heavier than a few TeV. Here we argue that it is not possible to extend to these constraints. We show that in the case of heavy dark matter, instead of forming a single large black hole that consumes the star, the collapsing dark matter particles form a series of small black holes that evaporate quickly without leading to the destruction of the star. Thus, no constraints arise for bosonic asymmetric dark matter particles with masses of a few TeV or higher.
