as Dark Matter

Tonatiuh Matos, Alberto Vázquez-González, Juan Magaña

In this paper we consider scalar field potential as a candidate to dark matter. If it is an ultralight boson particle, it condensates like a Bose-Einstein system at very earl…

Inflation from IIB Superstrings with Fluxes

Erandy Ramirez, Tonatiuh Matos

We study the conditions needed to have an early epoch of inflationary expansion with a potential coming from IIB superstring theory with fluxes involving two moduli fields. The phe…

Unification of cosmological scalar fields

Abdel Pérez-Lorenzana, Merced Montesinos, Tonatiuh Matos

We present a model where early inflation and late accelerating expansion of the Universe are driven by the real and imaginary parts of a single complex scalar field, which we ident…

Stellar polytropes and Navarro-Frenk-White halo models: comparison with observations

Jesus Zavala, Dario Nunez, Roberto A. Sussman +2

Motivated by the possible conflict between the Navarro-Frenk-White(NFW) model predictions for the dark matter contents of galactic systems and its correlation with baryonic surface…

A general relativistic approach to the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) galactic halos

Tonatiuh Matos, Dario Nunez, Roberto A Sussman

In order to study their interplay with large scale cosmic evolution and with relativistic effects, such as gravitational lenses, quintessence sources or gravitational waves, we con…

Scalar field "mini--MACHOs": a new explanation for galactic dark matter

Xavier Hernández, Tonatiuh Matos, Roberto A Sussman +1

We examine the possibility that galactic halos are collisionless ensembles of scalar field ``massive compact halo objects'' (MACHOs). Using mass constraints from MACHO microlensing…
