Wave dark matter

L Hui - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We review the physics and phenomenology of wave dark matter: a bosonic dark matter
candidate lighter than about 30 eV. Such particles have a de Broglie wavelength exceeding …

Ultra-light dark matter

EGM Ferreira - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2021 - Springer
Ultra-light dark matter is a class of dark matter models (DM), where DM is composed by
bosons with masses ranging from 10^-24\, eV< m< eV 10-24 eV< m< eV. These models …

Ultralight scalars as cosmological dark matter

L Hui, JP Ostriker, S Tremaine, E Witten - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Many aspects of the large-scale structure of the Universe can be described successfully
using cosmological models in which 27±1% of the critical mass-energy density consists of …

Dark matter self-interactions and small scale structure

S Tulin, HB Yu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

Bosonic dark matter in neutron stars and its effect on gravitational wave signal

D Rafiei Karkevandi, S Shakeri, V Sagun, O Ivanytskyi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study an impact of self-interacting bosonic dark matter (DM) on various observable
properties of neutron stars (NSs). The analysis is performed for asymmetric DM with masses …

New horizons: Scalar and vector ultralight dark matter

D Antypas, A Banerjee, C Bartram… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass
scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative …

Dynamical boson stars

SL Liebling, C Palenzuela - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal as a model for particles. In
the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth configurations of …

New insights into the formation and growth of boson stars in dark matter halos

J Chen, X Du, EW Lentz, DJE Marsh, JC Niemeyer - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
This work studies the formation and growth of boson stars and their surrounding miniclusters
by gravitational condensation using nonlinear dynamical numerical methods. Fully …

Tidal deformability of fermion-boson stars: Neutron stars admixed with ultralight dark matter

RF Diedrichs, N Becker, C Jockel, JE Christian… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we investigate the tidal deformability of a neutron star admixed with dark matter,
modeled as a massive, self-interacting, complex scalar field. We derive the equations to …

Hunting for dark particles with gravitational waves

GF Giudice - EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 - epj-conferences.org
The LIGO observation of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger has begun a
new era in fundamental physics. If new dark sector particles, be they bosons or fermions …
