Description

Recent multi-messenger observations suggest that high-energy neutrinos may be
produced close to central black holes in active galaxies. These regions may host dark-matter
(DM) spikes, where the concentration of DM particles is very high. Here we explore the
contribution of the DM annihilation to the target photons for the neutrino production, protonphoton interactions, estimate the associated neutrino spectrum and figure out possible future
tests of this scenario.
