The discovery of gravitational waves and black holes has started a new era of gravitational wave astronomy that allows us to probe the underpinning features of gravity and astrophysics in extreme environments of the universe. In this article, we investigate one such study with an extreme mass-ratio inspiral system where the primary object is a spherically symmetric static black hole immersed in a dark matter halo governed by the Hernquist density distribution. We consider the eccentric equatorial orbital motion of the steller-mass object orbiting around the primary and compute measurable effects. We examine the behaviour of dark matter mass and halo radius in generated gravitational wave fluxes and the evolution of eccentric orbital parameters -- eccentricity and semi-latus rectum. We further provide an estimate of gravitational wave dephasing and find the seminal role of low-frequency detectors in the observational prospects of such an astrophysical environment.

  1. Geometric properties of slowly rotating black holes embedded in matter environments

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The rotation of a surrounding dark-matter halo shifts the light ring, ISCO, epicyclic frequencies, and resonance locations of a slowly spinning black hole in a way that depends on the halo's angular velocity.

  2. Black hole spacetimes with dark matter spikes: Energy-momentum tensor and backreaction effects

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dark-matter spike built from the full orbital motion of its particles has ~50% more energy density near the black hole and produces metric deviations ~2.5 times larger than mass-only models.

  3. Tidal Love numbers and quasi-normal modes of the Schwarzschild-Hernquist black hole

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a Schwarzschild black hole in a relativistic Hernquist dark matter halo, quasinormal-mode frequency shifts scale as (MDM/rs)^(3/2) rather than linearly, while tidal Love numbers are small and sensitive to the choi...

  4. Eccentricity-Modulated Phase Degeneracy and Distinguishability between Dark Matter and Accretion Disk Environmental Effects in EMRIs

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    DM dephasing in EMRIs is nearly eccentricity-independent while disk dephasing is strongly suppressed by e0, so residual SNR and distinguishability time favor slightly eccentric orbits for LISA separation of the two effects.

  5. Extreme mass-ratio inspirals and extra dimensions: Insights from modified Teukolsky framework

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A modified Teukolsky equation and the Dudley-Finley approximation give nearly the same LISA detectability bound for the braneworld tidal charge, with MTE mismatches growing faster for high-eccentricity EMRIs.

  6. Multiscale probing of a Hernquist-type environmental black hole spacetime with the Sgr A* shadow and S2 orbital dynamics

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Observations of Sgr A*'s shadow and the S2 star's orbit constrain the Hernquist-type environmental halo compactness to below about 10^-4, while its radial scale stays bimodally degenerate.

  7. Black hole in the Dekel-Zhao dark matter profile

    gr-qc 2025-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new black hole solution in a Dekel-Zhao dark matter halo is derived, with shadow size and deflection angle depending on halo density and scale radius.
