Hidden Signals from Black Holes: The Hunt for Dark Photons
![Radio spectra from the supermassive black hole M87\* and the Crab Nebula demonstrate that distortions in the continuum emission-resulting from photon conversion processes governed by parameters such as [latex] m_{A^{\prime}} [/latex] and ε-offer a means of characterizing the environments surrounding these distinct astrophysical objects.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15985v1/x5.png)
New research suggests that the turbulent plasma around black holes and neutron stars could dramatically amplify the detection of elusive dark photons, potentially exceeding the sensitivity of laboratory experiments.
