Understand
An alternative bosonic dark matter model is examined in detail via high-resolution simulations.
- These bosons have particle mass of order $10^{-22}eV$ and are non-interacting.
- If they do exist and can account for structure formation, these bosons must be condensed into the Bose-Einstein state and described by a coherent wave function.
- This matter, also known as Fuzzy Dark Matter (Hu, Barkana & Gruzinov 2000),, is speculated to be able, first, to eliminate the sub-galactic halos to solve the problem of over-abundance of dwarf galaxies, and, second, to produce flat halo cores in galaxies suggested by some observations.
