Abstract

We present the construction of stationary boson-fermion spherically symmetric configurations governed by Newtonian gravity. Bosons are described in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime and fermions are assumed to obey Euler equations for an inviscid fluid with polytropic equation of state. The two components are coupled through the gravitational potential. The families of solutions are parametrized by the central value of the wave function describing the bosons and the central denisty of the fluid. We explore the stability of the solutions using numerical evolutions that solve the time dependent Schrödinger-Euler-Poisson system, using the truncation error of the numerical methods as the perturbation. We find that all configurations are stable as long as the polytropic equation of state (EoS) is enforced during the evolution. When the configurations are evolved using the ideal gas EoS they all are unstable that decay into a sort of twin solutions that approach a nearly stationary configuration. We expect these solutions and their evolution serve to test numerical codes that are currently being used in the study of Fuzzy Dark Matter plus baryons.
