One-parametric description for scalar field dark matter potentials

Francisco X. Linares Cedeno et al.

Summary: By parameterizing the evolution equations, researchers unified different types of potential families into a single parameter, exploring the cosmological evolution of a scalar field dark matter model. Statistical analysis revealed that the free case is preferred over other scalar field potentials, but all models are disfavored compared to the standard Cold Dark Matter model in terms of cosmological observations.

Ultralight DM bosons with an axion-like potential: scale-dependent constraints revisited

Francisco X. Linares Cedeno et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the possibility of a scalar field with a trigonometric potential as dark matter, analyzing its impact on the mass power spectrum and various physical quantities. The study reveals clear distinctions between the axion-like potential and FDM models in different wave numbers and redshifts. Additionally, the research explores the effects on the halo mass function.

Evolving ultralight scalars into non-linearity with Lagrangian perturbation theory

Alex Lague et al.

Summary: Many models in high energy physics suggest that the cosmological dark sector contains a spectrum of ultralight scalar particles. By modifying Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT) and including the effects of a quantum potential, researchers were able to efficiently compute self-consistent initial conditions for mixed dark matter models involving ultralight axions. The delay of shell-crossing for ultralight particles and the identification of potential divergences using the deformation tensor from LPT were also highlighted in the study.

Structure formation in large-volume cosmological simulations of fuzzy dark matter: impact of the non-linear dynamics

Simon May et al.

Summary: This study discusses the interest in ultralight bosonic particles of mass around 10(-22) eV/c(2) as a dark matter candidate, highlighting their potential impact on small-scale tensions in the standard cosmological model. By simulating fuzzy dark matter (FDM) dynamics with non-linear wave effects, the study reveals the suppression of power on small scales relative to cold dark matter (CDM) and the computational challenges associated with FDM equations. The simulations provide insights into the evolution of matter power spectrum and the halo mass function of FDM.

Modifying PyUltraLight to model scalar dark matter with self-interactions

Noah Glennon et al.

Summary: The study introduces a modification of the PySiUltraLight code for modeling the dynamical evolution of ultralight axionlike scalar dark matter fields, incorporating a quartic self-interaction term. Results show that solitons are unstable and explode when the soliton mass is below the critical mass and the initial radius falls within a specific range.

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

Jiajun Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation and growth of boson stars and their surrounding miniclusters through gravitational condensation using nonlinear dynamical numerical methods, considering attractive and repulsive self-interactions. Strong attractive self-interactions can cause instability and collapse of boson stars, while repulsive self-interactions promote their formation and result in solutions with larger radii.

Nonlinear cosmological structure with ultralight bosons via modified gravity

Stefany G. Medellin-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Ultralight bosons as dark matter have gained significant interest in cosmology due to their potential impact on the cosmic structure at both linear and nonlinear scales. This study demonstrates that the quantum potential introduces extra power suppression at the nonlinear level and has the ability to smooth any initial bumpy features in the mass power spectrum.

Oscillations and random walk of the soliton core in a fuzzy dark matter halo

Xinyu Li et al.

Summary: It has been found that a fuzzy dark matter halo consists of a soliton core and a density profile, with the soliton core showing temporal oscillations and random walk excursions that can be explained by wave interference. Analysis of numerical simulations reveals that these phenomena are mainly due to a suitable superposition of the ground state and excited states. This eigenmode analysis sheds light on the evolution of a satellite halo undergoing tidal disruption.
