Hello,
I've been reading articles about the OGLE micro-lensing project, which started out looking to find dark matter as 'massive compact objects,' but now seems to have had more success finding exoplanets. Searching the forums here I couldn't find much recent discussion about theories of this sort, but a lot about the WIMP theory, which I understand is the most popular. Is it safe to say that the MACHOs theory is pretty well abandoned?
Thanks for your time,
