The three phases of self-gravitating scalar field ground states
Anthony E. Mirasola, Nathan Musoke, Mark C. Neyrinck +2
It is generally assumed that scalar field dark matter halos would contain solitonic cores -- spherically symmetric ground state configurations -- at their centers. This is especial…

Relaxation times for Bose-Einstein condensation in axion miniclusters
Kay Kirkpatrick, Anthony E. Mirasola, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
We study the Bose condensation of scalar dark matter in the presence of both gravitational and self-interactions. Axions and other scalar dark matter in gravitationally bound minic…

Cooling Fermions in an Optical Lattice by Adiabatic Demagnetization
Anthony E. Mirasola, Michael L. Wall, Kaden R. A. Hazzard
The Fermi-Hubbard model describes ultracold fermions in an optical lattice and exhibits antiferromagnetic long-ranged order below the Néel temperature. However, reaching this tempe…
