Abstract:
Polyhymnia (33 Polyhymnia) is a main belt asteroid in our solar system with a diameter around 54 km. The density of asteroid 33 Polyhymnia, located in the main asteroid belt, is calculated to be 75 g/cc. Researchers have speculated the possibility that Polyhymnia could be composed of high-density superheavy elements near atomic number 164. Here, we propose that Polyhymnia could be an asteroid composed of degenerate dark matter (DM) and there could be many such asteroids in our solar system. (This is following our earlier work suggesting that Planet Nine could be such an object.)
