Bounds are derived on the axion-like particle (ALP) to two-photon coupling in the mass range $2.65-5.27$ eV. The bounds are obtained by searching for the signal from ALP decay in the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations of…

We examine the observational discrepancies of two widely used models describing anisotropic (dark) matter distributions around a black hole, focusing on their photon spheres, shadow radii, and lensing observables. The models considered are…

Galactic dark matter is modelled by a scalar field in order to effectively modify Kepler's law without changing standard Newtonian gravity. In particular, a solvable toy model with a self-interaction U(Phi) borrowed from non-topological…

Axions are a promising dark matter candidate that were motivated to solve the strong CP problem and that may also address the cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry. Axion-photon conversion is possible in the presence of the strong…

In this work, we investigate the existence of wormholes within the framework of Loop Quantum Cosmology, using isotropic dark matter as the source. We analyze three distinct density profiles and solve the modified gravity field equations…

Axions are very light, very weakly interacting particles postulated more than 30 years ago in the context of the Standard Model of particle physics. Their existence could explain the missing dark matter of the universe. However, despite…

The model of a spiral galaxy with radially directed flows of dark matter is extended by exotic matter, in a form of a perfect fluid with a linear anisotropic equation of state. The exotic matter is collected in the minimum of gravitational…

We investigate the scattering of a spinning test particle by a Kerr black hole within the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model to linear order in spin. The particle's spin and orbital angular momentum are taken to be aligned with the black…

We find that the polarimetric observations of protoplanetary disks are useful to search for ultra-light axion dark matter. Axion dark matter predicts the rotation of the linear polarization plane of propagating light, and protoplanetary…

Limits on the dark matter fraction of small mass primordial black holes from Hawking radiation are predominantly derived from the assumption of a Schwarzschild black hole evaporating. However, astrophysical black holes are usually much more…
