Cosmological simulations of mixed ultralight dark matter

Alex Laguë, Bodo Schwabe, Renée Hložek +2

The era of precision cosmology allows us to test the composition of the dark matter. Mixed ultralight or fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a cosmological model with dark matter composed o…

Deep zoom-in simulation of a fuzzy dark matter galactic halo

Bodo Schwabe, Jens C. Niemeyer

Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) made of ultra-light bosonic particles is a viable alternative to cold dark matter (CDM) with clearly distinguishable small-scale features in collapsed struc…

Gravitational Collapse in the Post-Inflationary Universe

Benedikt Eggemeier, Bodo Schwabe, Jens C. Niemeyer +1

The Universe may pass through an effectively matter-dominated epoch between inflation and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis during which gravitationally bound structures can form on subhori…

AxioNyx: Simulating Mixed Fuzzy and Cold Dark Matter

Bodo Schwabe, Mateja Gosenca, Christoph Behrens +2

The distinctive effects of fuzzy dark matter are most visible at non-linear galactic scales. We present the first simulations of mixed fuzzy and cold dark matter, obtained with an…

Baryon-driven growth of solitonic cores in fuzzy dark matter halos

Jan Veltmaat, Bodo Schwabe, Jens C. Niemeyer

We present zoom-in simulations of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) halos including baryons and star-formation with sufficient resolution to follow the formation and evolution of central sol…

Formation and structure of ultralight bosonic dark matter halos

Jan Veltmaat, Jens C. Niemeyer, Bodo Schwabe

We simulate the formation and evolution of ultralight bosonic dark matter halos from cosmological initial conditions. Using zoom-in techniques we are able to resolve the detailed i…

Tidal disruption of fuzzy dark matter subhalo cores

Xiaolong Du, Bodo Schwabe, Jens C. Niemeyer +1

We study tidal stripping of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) subhalo cores using simulations of the Schrödinger-Poisson equations and analyze the dynamics of tidal disruption, highlighting…

Core-halo mass relation of ultralight axion dark matter from merger history

Xiaolong Du, Christoph Behrens, Jens C. Niemeyer +1

In the context of structure formation with ultralight axion dark matter, we offer an alternative explanation for the mass relation of solitonic cores and their host halos observed…

Simulations of solitonic core mergers in ultra-light axion dark matter cosmologies

Bodo Schwabe, Jens C. Niemeyer, Jan F. Engels

Using three-dimensional simulations, we study the dynamics and final structure of merging solitonic cores predicted to form in ultra-light axion dark matter halos. The classical, N…

Form factors for dark matter capture by the Sun in effective theories

Riccardo Catena, Bodo Schwabe

In the effective theory of isoscalar and isovector dark matter-nucleon interactions mediated by a heavy spin-1 or spin-0 particle, 8 isotope-dependent nuclear response functions ca…
