Testing the mean field theory of scalar field dark matter
Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp +1
Scalar field dark matter offers an interesting alternative to the traditional WIMP dark matter picture. Astrophysical and cosmological simulations are useful to constraining the ma…
Nonclassicality of axion-like dark matter through gravitational self-interactions
Michael Kopp, Vasileios Fragkos, Igor Pikovski
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are promising dark matter candidates. They are typically described by a classical field, motivated by large phase space occupation numbers. Here we show…
Dark Matter properties through cosmic history
Stéphane Ilić, Michael Kopp, Constantinos Skordis +1
We perform the first test of dark matter (DM) stress-energy evolution through cosmic history, using cosmic microwave background measurements supplemented with baryon acoustic oscil…
Using large scale structure data and a halo model to constrain Generalised Dark Matter
Daniel B Thomas, Michael Kopp, Katarina Markovič
Constraints on the properties of the cosmological dark matter have previously been obtained in a model-independent fashion using the Generalised Dark Matter (GDM) framework. Here w…
The Dark Matter equation of state through cosmic history
Michael Kopp, Constantinos Skordis, Daniel B. Thomas +1
Cold Dark Matter (CDM) is a crucial constituent of the current concordance cosmological model. Having a vanishing equation of state (EoS), its energy density scales with the invers…
Solving the Vlasov equation in two spatial dimensions with the Schrödinger method
Michael Kopp, Kyriakos Vattis, Constantinos Skordis
We demonstrate that the Vlasov equation describing collisionless self-gravitating matter may be solved with the so-called Schrödinger method (ScM). With the ScM, one solves the Sch…
