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…
Cosmological zoom-in simulation of fuzzy dark matter down to z = 0: tidal evolution of subhaloes in a Milky Way-sized halo
Hei Yin Jowett Chan, Hsi-Yu Schive, Victor H. Robles +3
Subhaloes are critical in distinguishing dark matter models, yet their evolution within galactic haloes, particularly in the Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) model, remains challenging to f…
Cosmological Structure Formation and Soliton Phase Transition in Fuzzy Dark Matter with Axion Self-Interactions
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +11
We investigate cosmological structure formation in Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) with an attractive self-interaction (SI) with numerical simulations. Such a SI would arise if the FDM bos…
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…
Scalar Field Dark Matter: Helping or Hurting Small-Scale Problems in Cosmology?
Victor H. Robles, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin
Building upon results of cosmological simulations of ultra-light scalar field dark matter (SFDM), we present a comprehensive model for the density profiles of SFDM haloes as a func…
Galaxy Formation with BECDM: I. Turbulence and relaxation of idealised haloes
Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, Victor Robles +4
We present a theoretical analysis of some unexplored aspects of relaxed Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter (BECDM) haloes. This type of ultralight bosonic scalar field dark matte…
