Understand

As-yet undiscovered light bosons may constitute all or part of the dark matter (DM) of our Universe, and are expected to have (weak) self-interactions.

We show that the quartic self-interactions generically induce the capture of dark matter from the surrounding halo by external gravitational potentials such as those of stars, including the Sun.
This leads to the subsequent formation of dark matter bound states supported by such external potentials, resembling gravitational atoms (e.g.
a solar halo around our own Sun).
