Impact of the axion-like self-interactions in gravitational atoms for LISA

Carlos Palenzuela Luque, Samuel G\'omez G\'omez, Xisco Jimenez Forteza

Axion-like particles forming halos around black holes cause detectable dephasing in LISA waveforms from inspiraling binaries.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

For signal-to-noise ratios ≲100, LISA can distinguish gravitational waveforms from binaries embedded in such halo overdensities; LISA can probe boson masses m_dm∼10^{-17}-10^{-15} eV and decay constants f_a∼10^{10}-3.2×10^{12} GeV using binaries with total masses M∼10^4-10^5 M_⊙, assuming conservative DM densities consistent with the central values of Navarro-Frenk-White profiles. For a binary with M∼10^4 M_⊙, ρ_dm=10^3 GeV/cm^3, and SNR∼20, m_dm∼2.5×10^{-16} eV and f_a∼6.3×10^{10} GeV maximize dephasing, enabling percent-level recovery.

C2weakest assumption

The recently proposed dynamical formation mechanism produces gravitational atom halos with background densities at least as high as the central values of Navarro-Frenk-White profiles; if actual densities are substantially lower or the formation mechanism does not apply as assumed, the dynamical friction dephasing falls below detectable levels for the quoted SNR range.

C3one line summary

LISA can distinguish waveforms from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals affected by dynamical friction in axion-like gravitational atom halos, probing boson masses 10^{-17} to 10^{-15} eV and decay constants 10^{10} to 3.2e12 GeV for total masses 10^4-10^5 solar masses under NFW-consistent densities.
