Scalar Field Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation

Miguel Alcubierre, F. Siddhartha Guzman, Tonatiuh Matos +3

We present a general description of the scalar field dark matter (SFDM) hypothesis in the cosmological context. The scenario of structure formation under such a hypothesis is based…

Geometric Conditions on the Type of Matter Determining the Flat Behavior of the Rotational Curves in Galaxies

Tonatiuh Matos, Dario Nunez, F. Siddhartha Guzman +1

In an arbitrary axisymmetric stationary spacetime, we determine the expression for the tangential velocity of test objects following a circular stable geodesic motion in the equato…

Quintessence-like Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies

F. Siddhartha Guzman, Tonatiuh Matos, Dario Nunez +1

Through the geodesic analysis of a static and axially symmetric space time, we present conditions on the state equation of an isotropic perfect fluid , when it is considered…

Quintessence at Galactic Level?

T. Matos, F. S. Guzman

Recently it has been proposed that the main contributor to the dark energy of the Universe is a dynamical, slow evolving, spatially inhomogeneous scalar field called quintessence.…

Scalar dark matter in spiral galaxies

F. S. Guzman, T. Matos, H. Villegas-Brena

An exact, axially symmetric solution to the Einstein-Klein-Gordon field equations is employed to model the dark matter in spiral galaxies. The extended rotation curves from a previ…
