Probing the Distribution and Nature of Dark Matter Around Supermassive Black Holes from EMRI and IMRI Gravitational Waves
The distribution of dark matter in the immediate vicinity of supermassive black holes remains poorly understood despite its importance for galaxy evolution and precision tests of gravity. Future space-based gravitational-wave observatories offer a unique opportunity to probe this relativistic regime through the inspira...
