Searching for ultralight bosons within spin measurements of a population of binary black hole mergers
Ultralight bosons can form clouds around rotating black holes if their Compton wavelength is comparable to the black hole size. The boson cloud spins down the black hole through a process called superradiance, lowering the black hole spin to a characteristic value. It has been suggested that spin me...
