摘要
Fermion dark matter particles can aggregate to form extended dark matter structures via a first-order phase transition in which the particles get trapped in the false vacuum. We study Fermi balls created in a phase transition induced by a generic quartic thermal effective potential. We show that for Fermi balls of mass, 3 x 10(-12)M(circle dot) less than or similar to M-FB less than or similar to 10(-5)M(circle dot), correlated observations of gravitational waves produced during the phase transition (at SKA/THEIA/mu Ares), and gravitational microlensing caused by Fermi balls (at Subaru-HSC), can be made.
