Can black hole superradiance be induced by galactic plasmas?
Highly spinning Kerr black holes with masses M=1–100M⊙ are subject to an efficient superradiant instability in the presence of bosons with masses μ∼10−10–10−12eV. We observe that this matches the effective plasma-induced photon mass in diffuse galactic or intracluster environments (ωpl∼10−10–10−12eV...
