Comment on "Calorimetric Dark Matter Detection with Galactic Center Gas Clouds".

The paper "Calorimetric Dark Matter Detection with Galactic Center Gas Clouds" (Bhoonah et al. 2018) aims to derive limits on dark matter interactions by demanding that heat transfer due to DM interactions is less than that by astrophysical cooling, using clouds in the hot, high-velocity nuclear outflow wind of the Milky Way ($T_{wind} \sim 10^{6-7}$ K, $V_{wind} \sim$ 330 km/s). We argue that clouds in such an extreme environment cannot be assumed to be stable over the long timescales associated with their radiative cooling rates. Furthermore, Bhoonah et al. (2018) uses incorrect parameters for their clouds.
