Vortex State of Ultralight Dark Matter and the Fornax Timing Problem
V. Gorkavenko, O. Barabash, T. Gorkavenko +4
We investigate the impact of the vortex state of the ultralight dark matter (ULDM) on the dynamical friction acting on moving globular clusters. Comparing this force with that for…
Effects of Curvature-Scalar Coupling on Vacuum Energy in Flat (3+1)-Dimensional Space-Time
Volodymyr Gorkavenko, Oleh Barabash, Pavlo Nakaznyi +3
We investigated how a magnetic topological defect affects the vacuum polarization of a charged massive scalar field in a flat -dimensional space-time. The defect was modeled…
Damping of dynamical friction force in self-interacting ultralight dark matter and Fornax timing problem
E. V. Gorbar, O. V. Barabash, V. M. Gorkavenko +3
The dynamics of globular clusters in the Fornax dwarf galaxy pose a challenge for the standard cold dark matter and can be used to test other models of dark matter. We study this d…
Analytic calculation of dynamical friction for Plummer sphere in ultralight dark matter
O. V. Barabash, T. V. Gorkavenko, V. M. Gorkavenko +4
The dynamical friction force acting on a spatially extended probe (globular clusters and dwarf galaxies) moving in the environment of ultralight bosonic dark matter in the state of…
Dynamical friction in ultralight dark matter: Plummer sphere perspective
V. M. Gorkavenko, A. I. Yakimenko, A. O. Zaporozhchenko +1
In models of dark matter composed of feebly interacting ultralight bosons in the state of Bose-Einstein condensate, the dynamical friction force acting on circularly moving globula…
Dynamical friction in rotating ultralight dark matter galactic cores
V. M. Gorkavenko, O. V. Barabash, T. V. Gorkavenko +5
Dynamical friction and stellar orbital motion in spiral galaxies with dark matter composed of ultralight bosons in the state of rotating Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) are studied.…
