Tidal Heating of Stellar Clusters in Fuzzy Dark Matter Halos
Yiheng Liu, Xinyu Li
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies serve as powerful testing grounds for wave dark matter models through dynamical stellar heating. Previous simulation-based work derived a lower bound on…
Quantum fluctuations masquerade as halos: Bounds on ultra-light dark matter from quadruply-imaged quasars
Alexander Laroche, Daniel Gilman, Xinyu Li +2
Ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) refers to a class of theories, including ultra-light axions, in which particles with mass comprise a significant fraction…
Construction of Wave Dark Matter Halos: Numerical Algorithm and Analytical Constraints
Tomer D. Yavetz, Xinyu Li, Lam Hui
We present a wave generalization of the classic Schwarzschild method for constructing self-consistent halos -- such a halo consists of a suitable superposition of waves instead of…
Don't cross the streams: caustics from Fuzzy Dark Matter
Neal Dalal, Jo Bovy, Lam Hui +1
We study how tidal streams from globular clusters may be used to constrain the mass of ultra-light dark matter particles, called `fuzzy' dark matter (FDM). A general feature of FDM…
Oscillations and Random Walk of the Soliton Core in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo
Xinyu Li, Lam Hui, Tomer D. Yavetz
A Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) halo consists of a soliton core close to the center and an NFW-like density profile in the outer region. Previous investigations found that the soliton co…
Vortices and waves in light dark matter
Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Michael J. Landry +1
In a galactic halo like the Milky Way, bosonic dark matter particles lighter than about eV have a de Broglie wavelength larger than the average inter-particle separation and a…
Numerical and Perturbative Computations of the Fuzzy Dark Matter Model
Xinyu Li, Lam Hui, Greg L. Bryan
We investigate nonlinear structure formation in the fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model using both numerical and perturbative techniques. On the numerical side, we examine the virtues an…
