Corotation of two quantized vortices coupled with collective modes in self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

We numerically examine the corotation of two parallel quantized vortices in a self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) employing the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations. The long-range gravitationally attractive interaction allows the BEC to self-confine without the need for external potentials, while the density-dependence of the gravitational potential induces intriguing behaviors in the quantized vortices. The aim of this study is to provide a clue for understanding the corotation of two quantized vortices under the influence of gravitational interactions. The corotation of two quantized vortices is coupled with collective modes of the BEC, which markedly differs from the behavior observed in typical BECs confined by an external potential. The rotational period increases linearly with the initial position from the center of the BEC. This deviation from the quadratic increase observed in a uniform BEC suggests that the gravitational interaction exerts a drag effect on the rotating quantized vortices. The two closely positioned quantized vortices rotate along elliptical orbits with radial fluctuations. However, when the quantized vortices are initially positioned beyond a critical radius comparable to their core sizes, their trajectory transitions into an outward spiral, implying the onset of effective dissipation. Our findings demonstrate that the radial fluctuations of the quantized vortex resonate with the quadrupole mode of the BEC, giving rise to a dissipation mechanism.
