Abstract

We present a novel approach which produces Dark Matter jets along the rotation axis of Kerr black holes utilizing the Penrose process. The properties of these jets are investigated, as well as their potential to create Dark Matter overdensities in the solar system and in the vicinity of the black hole. We discover a highly collimated and long-range Dark Matter jet with a density that is most sensitive to the mass and distance to the black hole.
