Unique Multimessenger Signal of QCD Axion Dark Matter
We propose a multimessenger probe of QCD axion dark matter based on observations of black hole-neutron star binary inspirals. It is suggested that a dense dark matter spike may grow around intermediate mass black holes (10^{3}-10^{5} M_{⊙}). The presence of such a spike produces two unique effects: a distinct phase …
