Variability in Supermassive Black-Hole Accretion Rates in Fuzzy Dark Matter Cores due to Black-Hole Wandering
Eric Ludwig, Philip Mocz, Victor Robles
Soliton cores in fuzzy dark matter (FDM) deepen nuclear potentials and have been proposed to strongly boost Bondi accretion, potentially aiding rapid black-hole growth at high reds…
Strong Stellar Diffusion from Wave DM Cosmological Simulation and Potential Unified Origin for dSphs, UFGs, and UDGs
A. Pozo, T. Broadhurst, J. Zhang +6
Our DM simulations predict that stars diffuse throughout dark matter halos over the Hubble time through a random walk driven by the wave perturbations intrinsic to DM. The re…
Self-Consistent Nonlinear Classical Cepheid Pulsations During Stellar Evolution with MESA

Dark matter-dominated cores have long been claimed for the well-studied local group dwarf galaxies. More recently, extended stellar halos have been uncovered around several of thes…
Nested solitons in two-field fuzzy dark matter
Hoang Nhan Luu, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger +4
Dark matter as scalar particles consisting of multiple species is well motivated in string theory where axion fields are ubiquitous. A two-field fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model featu…
