Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’

Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’

by William Lamb | Aug 8, 2024 | Daily Paper Summaries, PRJ

In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
