Scientific paper

Observational evidence that dark matter is in the form of compact bodies has been steadily accumulating over the past few years. Statistical analysis of quasar light curves, microlensing in multiply lensed quasar systems and the detection of a planetary mass MACHO in the Galaxy all lend support to the idea. In this paper we present evidence for caustic crossings in quasar light curves and argue that they are produced by Jupiter mass primordial black holes along the line of sight.
