Inlists for "An Alternative Channel to Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binaries: Dynamical Friction of Dark Matter? "

In this work, we employ MESA code to diagnose whether the dynamical friction between dark matter and the companion stars can drive BH binaries to evolve toward the observed BH LMXBs and alleviate the effective temperature problem. Assuming that there exists a density spike of dark matter around BH, the dynamical friction can produce an efficient angular momentum loss, driving BH binaries with an intermediate-mass companion star to evolve into BH LMXBs for a spike index higher than $\gamma = 1.58$.
