Black holes in General Relativity are described by space-time metrics that are simpler in comparison to non-vacuum compact objects. However, given the universality of the gravitational pull, it is expected that dark matter accumulates…

We investigate the black hole (BH) scaling relation in galaxies using a model in which the galaxy halo and central BH are a self-gravitating sphere of dark matter (DM) with an isotropic, adiabatic equation of state. The equipotential where…

We study the core mass -- halo mass relation of bosonic dark matter halos, in the form of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates, harbouring a supermassive black hole. We use the ``velocity dispersion tracing'' relation according to…

The discovery of a relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and spiral arm pitch angle (P) is evidence that SMBHs are tied to the overall secular evolution of a galaxy. The discovery of SMBHs in late-type galaxies with…

We present our determination of the nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass function for spiral galaxies in the Local Universe, established from a volume-limited sample consisting of a statistically complete collection of the brightest…

Dark matter in the form of compact objects with mass $M_{\rm co} \gtrsim 10 M_{\odot}$ can be constrained by its dynamical effects on wide binary stars. Motivated by the recent interest in Primordial Black Hole dark matter, we revisit the…
