Shadow bound of black holes with dark matter halo

Abstract

We investigate the shadow cast of black holes immersed in a dark matter halo. We use the M87* shadow data obtained by the EHT collaboration to constrain two parameters (M,aM,a) of dark matter halo surrounding a black hole with mass MbhM_{\rm bh}. For a10.8Ma\ge10.8M, we find the favored region (shadow bound), while the disfavored region is found for a<10.8Ma<10.8M when imposing the EHT results. This shadow bound is much less than the observation bound of galaxies (a104Ma\ge 10^4 M).
