Depletion of Dark Matter Spikes by Massive Black Hole Mergers
Charlie Sharpe, Thomas F. M. Spieksma, Yonadav Barry Ginat +3
Dark matter over-densities around massive black holes, known as dark matter spikes, can dephase gravitational waves emitted by intermediate- and extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs…
The Irreversible Depletion of Dark Matter Spikes by Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Charlie Sharpe, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Thomas F. M. Spieksma +2
Dense dark matter spikes around massive black holes (MBHs) have been widely predicted to produce gravitational-wave dephasing in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) that are poten…
Self-acceleration of Hardening Binaries
Giovanni Maria Tomaselli, Thomas F. M. Spieksma
A Keplerian binary immersed in a bath of lighter particles hardens by ejecting them through gravitational slingshots. This process drives, for example, the evolution of supermassiv…
The Depletion of Collisionless Dark Matter Spikes
Charlie Sharpe, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Thomas F. M. Spieksma +2
Dense concentrations of dark matter surrounding black holes provide a compelling opportunity to probe the nature of dark matter. In the classic Gondolo--Silk model, the adiabatic g…
