CQG+ article on "Black-hole superradiance and the hunt for dark matter"

Our recent paper on black-hole superradiance has been highlighted in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, which contains a CQG+ Section where the authors of highlighted papers are asked to write informally about their work. You can find our contribution here:

Monte Carlo simulation of the end-state of the superradiant instability in the so-called “Regge plane”. Each point represents the final black-hole mass and spin after the superradiant evolution. As a result of the instability, old black holes do not populate the region above the green threshold curve, leaving a “hole” in the Regge plane as predicted by a linearized analysis. The experimental points with error bars refer to observed supermassive black holes. The three panels refer to different gas accretion rates.
