Superfluid Dark Matter
Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Valerio De Luca +1
The superfluid dark matter model offers an elegant solution to reconcile discrepancies between the predictions of the cold dark matter paradigm and observations on galactic scales.…
Dynamical friction in dark matter superfluids: The evolution of black hole binaries
Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Valerio De Luca +1
The theory of superfluid dark matter is characterized by self-interacting sub-eV particles that thermalize and condense to form a superfluid core in galaxies. Massive black holes a…
Thermalization, Fragmentation and Tidal Disruption: The Complex Galactic Dynamics of Dark Matter Superfluidity
Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Justin Khoury
The idea of self-interacting bosonic dark matter capable of exhibiting superfluidity is revisited. We show that the most interesting parameter space of the theory corresponds to fu…
Core Fragmentation in Simplest Superfluid Dark Matter Scenario
Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Max Warkentin
We study the structure of galactic halos within a scalar dark matter model, endowed with a repulsive quartic self-interaction, capable of undergoing the superfluid phase transition…
Phenomenological consequences of superfluid dark matter with baryon-phonon coupling
Lasha Berezhiani, Benoit Famaey, Justin Khoury
Recently, a new form of dark matter has been suggested to naturally reproduce the empirically successful aspects of Milgrom's law in galaxies. The dark matter particle candidates a…
Theory of Dark Matter Superfluidity
Lasha Berezhiani, Justin Khoury
We propose a novel theory of dark matter (DM) superfluidity that matches the successes of the LambdaCDM model on cosmological scales while simultaneously reproducing the MOdified N…
