Modelling the Sgr A* Black Hole Immersed in a Dark Matter Spike

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the effects of a dark matter (DM) spike on the neighborhood of Sgr A*, the black hole (BH) in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Our main goal is to investigate whether current and future astronomical observations of Sgr A* could detect the presence of such a DM spike. At first, we construct the spacetime metric around a static and spherically symmetric BH with a DM spike, and later this solution is generalized for a rotating BH using the Newman-Janis-Azreg Aïnou algorithm. For the static BH metric, we use the data of the S2 star orbiting the Sgr A* to determine and analyze the constraints on the two free parameters characterizing the density and the innermost boundary of the DM halo surrounding the BH. Furthermore, by making use of the available observational data for the DM spike density ${\rho }_{\text{sp}}$ and the DM spike radius $R_{\text{sp}}$ in the Milky Way galaxy, we consider a geometrically-thick accretion disk model around the Sgr A* BH and demonstrate that the effect of DM distribution on the shadow radius and the image of the BH is considerably weak for realistic DM densities, becoming significant only when the DM density is of the order ${\rho }_{\text{sp}}\sim (10^{-19}-10^{-20})$ g/cm${}^3$ near the BH. We further analyze the possibility of observing this effect with radio interferometry, simulating observations with an EHT--like array, and find that it is unlikely to be detectable in the near future.
