The very careful Event Horizon Telescope estimate of the mass of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Giant CD galaxy M87, allied with recent high quality photometric and spectroscopic measurements, yields a proper dark/luminous mass decomposition from the galaxy center to its virial radius. That provides us with decisive information on crucial cosmological and astrophysical issues. The dark and the standard matter distributions in a wide first time detected galaxy region under the supermassive black hole gravitational control. The well known supermassive black hole mass vs stellar dispersion velocity relationship at the highest galaxy masses implies an exotic growth of the former. This may be the first case in which one can argue that the supermassive black hole mass growth was also contributed by the Dark Matter component. A huge dark matter halo core in a galaxy with inefficient baryonic feedback is present and consequently constrains the nature of the dark halo particles. The unexplained entanglement between dark/luminous structural properties, already emerged in disk systems, also appears.

Scattering of wave dark matter by supermassive black holes
A first-principles scattering calculation explains the co-rotating wave dark matter profile around supermassive black hole binaries and predicts resonant power peaks that could imprint on the pulsar timing array spectrum.

Constraining eV-scale axion-like particle dark matter: insights from the M87 Galaxy
Using M87's infrared-to-ultraviolet observations, the authors constrain the axion-photon coupling for eV-scale axion-like particle dark matter, claiming order-of-magnitude improvements over previous bounds at masses f...
