Thermodynamics, weak gravitational lensing, and parameter estimation of a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in Hernquist dark matter halo
Abstract
Abstract In this article, we obtain a novel black hole (BH) solution of a Schwarzschild BH immersed in a Hernquist dark matter (SBHD) halo. The thermodynamic properties of the resultant spacetime are then studied to gauge the impact of dark matter (DM) on the local and global stability of the composite system of the BH-DM halo. With the intention of finding imprints of DM, we then study weak gravitational lensing (GL) and shadows. Both display significant dependence on the DM parameters, namely the core radius r s and core density ρ s . Finally, we constrain the DM parameters by utilizing bounds on the deviation parameter δ for supermassive BHs (SMBHs) M 87* and Sgr A* reported by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), Keck, and VLTI Observatories. Our analysis finds the SBHD to be congruent with experimental observations, thereby making it a feasible candidate for an SMBH.
