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…
Core mass -- halo mass relation of bosonic and fermionic dark matter halos harbouring a supermassive black hole
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the core mass -- halo mass relation of bosonic dark matter halos, in the form of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates, harbouring a supermassive black hole. We use t…
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…
Mass-radius relation of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates with a central black hole
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We determine the mass-radius relation of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates with an attractive external potential created by a central mass. Following our previous w…
Statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems in general relativity: II. The classical Boltzmann gas
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the statistical mechanics of classical self-gravitating systems confined within a box of radius in general relativity. It has been found that the caloric curve $T_{\in…
Statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems in general relativity: I. The quantum Fermi gas
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We develop a general formalism to determine the statistical equilibrium states of self-gravitating systems in general relativity and complete previous works on the subject. Our res…
