Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new, Yale-led study shows that some supermassive black holes actually thrive under pressure. It has been known for some time that when distant galaxies—and the supermassive black holes within their cores—aggregate into clusters, these clusters create a volatile, highly pressurized environment. Individual galaxies falling into…

Black Hole Superradiant Instability from Ultralight Spin-2 Fields Black Hole

Black Hole Superradiant Instability from Ultralight Spin-2 Fields

Abstract Ultralight bosonic fields are compelling dark-matter candidates and arise in a variety of beyond standard model scenarios. These fields can tap energy and angular momentum from spinning black holes through superradiant instabilities, during which a macroscopic bosonic condensate develops around the black hole. Striking features of this phenomenon include…
