AMPM survey detects one microlensing candidate in LMC data and constrains up to 30% of Galactic primordial black hole dark matter at 95% C.L. in the asteroid-to-planetary mass range, with peak sensitivity shifted to lunar masses by second-order effects.
Stellar microlensing surveys exclude compact objects between 10^{-11} and 10^4 solar masses from making up all dark matter under standard assumptions.
