Small-scale structure of fuzzy and axion-like dark matter

JC Niemeyer - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
Axion-like particle (ALP) dark matter shows distinctive behavior on scales where wavelike
effects dominate over self-gravity. Ultralight axions are candidates for fuzzy dark matter …

Constraints on dark matter properties from observations of Milky Way satellite galaxies

EO Nadler, A Drlica-Wagner, K Bechtol, S Mau… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the
fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities …

Brief review on scalar field dark matter models

LA Ureña-López - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The existence of dark matter in the universe has been solidly established in the last
decades, after the arrival of accurate cosmological and astrophysical observations, and …

First Constraints on Fuzzy Dark Matter from Lyman- Forest Data and Hydrodynamical Simulations

V Iršič, M Viel, MG Haehnelt, JS Bolton, GD Becker - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We present constraints on the masses of extremely light bosons dubbed fuzzy dark matter
(FDM) from Lyman-α forest data. Extremely light bosons with a de Broglie wavelength of∼ 1 …

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: Implications of the soliton-host halo relation

N Bar, D Blas, K Blum, S Sibiryakov - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Bosonic ultralight dark matter (ULDM) would form cored density distributions at the center of
galaxies. These cores, seen in numerical simulations, admit analytic description as the …

Violation of the equivalence principle from light scalar dark matter

A Hees, O Minazzoli, E Savalle, YV Stadnik, P Wolf - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
In this paper, we study the local observational consequences of a violation of the Einstein
equivalence principle induced by models of light scalar dark matter (DM). We focus on two …

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: A systematic comparison with SPARC data

N Bar, K Blum, C Sun - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We look for and place observational constraints on the imprint of ultralight dark matter
(ULDM) soliton cores in rotation-dominated galaxies. Extending previous analyses, we find …

The diversity of core–halo structure in the fuzzy dark matter model

HYJ Chan, EGM Ferreira, S May… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In the fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model, gravitationally collapsed objects always consist of a
solitonic core located within a virialized halo. Although various numerical simulations have …

Simulating mixed fuzzy and cold dark matter

B Schwabe, M Gosenca, C Behrens, JC Niemeyer… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
The distinctive effects of fuzzy dark matter are most visible at nonlinear galactic scales. We
present the first simulations of mixed fuzzy and cold dark matter, obtained with an extended …

Fuzzy dark matter and dark matter halo cores

A Burkert - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Whereas cold dark matter (CDM) simulations predict central dark matter cusps with densities
that diverge as ρ (r)∼ 1/r, observations often indicate constant-density cores with finite …
