Abstract
After the discovery of quasars, theories of active galactic nuclei (AG N) were constructed which focused on the investigation of gas dynamics in the gravitational potential of a black hole. In this paper we stud y the influence of a possible dark matter neutrino ball on the accreti on process in AGN, and investigate possible observable signatures of s uch a ball which is supported by degeneracy pressure. We find that, if such balls exist in the vicinity of AGN, they will cause a bump in th e IR region of the emitted spectrum which is, in fact, observed for se veral AGN. We also find that, if the bump corresponding to similar to 1000 K in the spectrum of the typical radio-loud quasar 3C 273 is due to a neutrino ball, then our model implies a mass of the black hole of 10(8) M., a ball mass of 4 x 10(9) M. and, in turn, a neutrino of mas s 3 keV/c(2).
