Thermal activation rate of dilute axion stars close to the maximum mass
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We compute the thermal activation rate of metastable self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive self-interaction (e.g., dilute axion stars) by using the instanton t…
Galaxy rotation curves and universal scaling relations: comparison between phenomenological and fermionic dark matter profiles
A. Krut, C. R. Argüelles, P. -H. Chavanis +2
Galaxies show different halo scaling relations such as the Radial Acceleration Relation, the Mass Discrepancy Acceleration Relation (MDAR) or the dark matter Surface Density Relati…
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…
Predictions from the logotropic model: the universal surface density of dark matter halos and the present proportion of dark matter and dark energy
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
The logotropic model [P.H. Chavanis, Eur. Phys. J. Plus {\bf 130}, 130 (2015)] may be an interesting alternative to the CDM model. It is able to account for the present accelera…
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…
Derivation of the core mass -- halo mass relation of fermionic and bosonic dark matter halos from an effective thermodynamical model
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We consider the possibility that dark matter halos are made of quantum particles such as fermions or bosons in the form of Bose-Einstein condensates. In that case, they generically…
