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 …

The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation

M Vogelsberger, F Marinacci, P Torrey… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
Over recent decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental
in advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These …

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 …

Axion cosmology

DJE Marsh - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …

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 …

Large-misalignment mechanism for the formation of compact axion structures: Signatures from the QCD axion to fuzzy dark matter

A Arvanitaki, S Dimopoulos, M Galanis, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Axions are some of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model. We show how
the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses, from …

Galaxy formation with BECDM–I. Turbulence and relaxation of idealized haloes

P Mocz, M Vogelsberger, VH Robles… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We present a theoretical analysis of some unexplored aspects of relaxed Bose–Einstein
condensate dark matter (BECDM) haloes. This type of ultralight bosonic scalar field dark …

Understanding the core-halo relation of quantum wave dark matter from 3D simulations

HY Schive, MH Liao, TP Woo, SK Wong, T Chiueh… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We examine the nonlinear structure of gravitationally collapsed objects that form in our
simulations of wavelike cold dark matter, described by the Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) …
