abstract

In this work, we explored the effect of the fuzzy dark matter (FDM) (or wave dark matter) halo on a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Such a dark matter introduces a soliton core density profile, and we treat it ideally as a spherical distribution that surrounds the SMBH located at its center. In this direction, we obtained a new metric due to the union of the black hole and dark matter spacetime geometries. We applied the solution to the two known SMBH - Sgr. A* and M87* and used the empirical data for the shadow diameter by EHT to constrain the soliton core radius $r_\text{c}$ given some values of the boson mass $m_\text{b}$. Then, we examine the behavior of the shadow radius based on such constraints and relative to a static observer. We found that different shadow sizes are perceived at regions $r_\text{obs}<r_\text{c}$ and $r_\text{obs}>r_\text{c}$, and the deviation is greater for values $m_\text{b}<10^{-22}$ eV. Concerning the shadow behavior, we have also analyzed the effect of the soliton profile on the thin-accretion disk. Soliton dark matter effects manifest through the varying luminosity near the event horizon. We also analyzed the weak deflection angle and the produced Einstein rings due to soliton effects. We found considerable deviation, better than the shadow size deviation, for the light source near the SMBH with impact parameters comparable to the soliton core. Our results suggest the possible experimental detection of soliton dark matter effects using an SMBH at the galactic centers.

  1. Convexity criterion and radial-profile response for off-shell Kerr geometries: a fuzzy-dark-matter profile as an analytic benchmark

    gr-qc 2026-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper proves a sufficient convexity criterion for off-shell Kerr radial mass profiles and derives first-order horizon, photon-sphere, and shadow responses for a fuzzy-dark-matter-inspired benchmark.

  2. Ringdown of a black hole sourced by a Burkert-density effective anisotropic source

    gr-qc 2025-11 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Burkert-halo black hole metric and its quasinormal-mode shifts are computed, but the model's source is not Burkert and the axial gravitational potential is incorrect.

  3. Analyzing Deflection Angles and Photon Sphere Dynamics of Magnetically Charged Black Holes in Nonlinear Electrodynamic

    gr-qc 2025-02 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new closed-form weak deflection angle and shadow analysis for a magnetically charged NED black hole, with strong-field results that reduce to Schwarzschild after a mass redefinition.
