The First Robust Evidence Showing a Dark Matter Density Spike Around the Supermassive Black Hole in OJ 287
Black hole dynamics suggests that dark matter would redistribute near a supermassive black hole (SMBH) to form a density spike. However, no direct evidence of a dark matter density spike around an SMBH has been identified. In this Letter, we present the first robust evidence showing a dark matter de...
