Axions explain the formation of supermassive black holes at cosmic dawn
Abstract
In a recent paper we pointed out that supermassive black holes, with masses ranging from 105 to 1010 M form naturally at cosmic dawn if the dark matter is QCD axions or axion-like particles with mass m > 10-16\, eV/c2. No additional assumptions are required. Here we answer in detail the most commonly raised questions regarding our work.
