| contents | The environment surrounding a black hole or black hole binaries is generally expected to play an important role in understanding various astrophysical phenomena around them. In this paper, we study relativistic, low angular momentum, inviscid, and advective hot accretion flow onto a galactic supermassive black hole dressed with a cold dark matter halo. Focusing on different relativistic dark matter distributions with an inner density spike, we analyze the effect of the dark matter halo on the topology and properties of the accretion flow. Our results show enhancement of disk luminosity in the presence of dark matter, which depends on the nature and properties (halo mass and compactness) of the dark matter distribution. Under the assumptions of our accretion model, the dominant contribution to the disk luminosity for compact and massive halos arises from the inner regions of the accretion flow. Consequently, our analysis indicates that luminosity measurements can serve as an effective probe of the underlying dark matter density spike. |
