We show that a subdominant component of dissipative dark matter resembling the Standard Model can form many intermediate-mass black hole seeds during the first structure formation epoch. We also observe that, in the presence of this matter sector, the black holes will grow at a much faster rate with respect to the ordinary case. These facts can explain the observed abundance of supermassive black holes feeding high-redshift quasars. The scenario will have interesting observational consequences for dark substructures and gravitational wave production.

  1. Microlensing of fast and slow compact objects

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Microlensing surveys constrain fast and slow compact objects at masses and densities differing by orders of magnitude from dark matter limits due to speed-mass degeneracy in Einstein crossing times.
