Galaxy Formation with BECDM -- II. Cosmic Filaments and First Galaxies
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +11
Bose-Einstein Condensate Dark Matter (BECDM; also known as Fuzzy Dark Matter) is motivated by fundamental physics and has recently received significant attention as a serious alter…
First star-forming structures in fuzzy cosmic filaments
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +10
In hierarchical models of structure formation, the first galaxies form in low-mass dark matter potential wells, probing the behavior of dark matter on kiloparsec (kpc) scales. Even…
Fuzzy Dark Matter Soliton Cores around Supermassive Black Holes
Elliot Yarnell Davies, Philip Mocz
We explore the effect of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the density profile of a fuzzy dark matter (FDM) soliton core at the centre of a dark matter halo. We numerically solve…
A Markov model for non-lognormal density distributions in compressive isothermal turbulence
Philip Mocz, Blakesley Burkhart
Compressive isothermal turbulence is known to have a near lognormal density probability distribution function (PDF) with a width that scales with the sonic Mach number and nature o…
Formation, Gravitational Clustering and Interactions of Non-relativistic Solitons in an Expanding Universe
Mustafa A. Amin, Philip Mocz
We investigate the formation, gravitational clustering and interactions of solitons in a self-interacting, non-relativistic scalar field in an expanding universe. Rapid formation o…
