The Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM) model, also called Fuzzy, Wave, Bose-Einstein, Ultra-light Dark Matter, has received a lot of attention because it has been able to provide simpler and more natural explanations for various features of…
Galactic dark matter is modelled by a scalar field. In particular, it is shown that an analytically solvable toy model with a non-linear self-interaction potential U(Phi) leads to dark halo models which have the form of quasi-isothermal…
The observed rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies play an essential role in studying dark matter, and indicate that there exists a central constant density dark matter core. However, the cosmological N-body simulations…
A clear prediction of the Cold Dark Matter model is the existence of cuspy dark matter halo density profiles on all mass scales. This is not in agreement with the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies, challenging on small scales the…
We examine the possibility that galactic halos are collisionless ensembles of scalar field ``massive compact halo objects'' (MACHOs). Using mass constraints from MACHO microlensing and from theoretical arguments on halos made up of massive…
We propose a new class of quintessence models in which late times oscillations of a scalar field give rise to an effective equation of state which can be negative and hence drive the observed acceleration of the universe. Our ansatz…
We propose a ultraviolet complete theory for cold dark matter(CDM) and sterile neutrino that can accommodate both cosmological data and neutrino oscillation experiments at $1\sigma$ level. A new $U(1)_X$ dark gauge symmetry is introduced,…
We argued that the standard field scalar potential couldn't be widely used for getting the adequate galaxies' curve lines and determining the profiles of dark matter their halo. For discovering the global properties of scalar fields that…
We present mass models for a sample of 30 high-resolution rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We fit both pseudo-isothermal (core-dominated) and Cold Dark Matter (CDM) (cusp-dominated) halos for a wide variety of…
Galactic rotation curves exhibit a diverse range of inner slopes. Observational data indicates that explaining this diversity may require a mechanism that correlates a galaxy's surface brightness with the central-most region of its dark…
Bose-Einstein-condensed dark matter, also called scalar-field dark matter (SFDM), has become a popular alternative to cold dark matter (CDM), because it predicts galactic cores, in contrast to the cusps of CDM halos ("cusp-core problem").…
Cold dark matter (CDM) has shown to be an excellent candidate for the dark matter (DM) of the Universe at large scales, however it presents some challenges at the galactic level. The scalar field dark matter (SFDM), also called fuzzy, wave,…
This review deals with the inconsistency of inner dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies, known as the cusp-core problem. Particularly, we aim to focus on gas-poor dwarf galaxies. One of the most promising solutions to this cold…
This study investigates the dynamical response of dark matter (DM) halos to recurrent starbursts in forming less-massive galaxies to solve the core-cusp problem. The gas, which is heated by supernova feedback after a starburst, expands and…
In this paper we present strong evidence for a core in the density distribution of the dark halo around a (dwarf) galaxy. DDO 47 has a rotation curve that increases linearly from the first data point, at 300 pc, up to to the last one, at 5…
Recent Strong lensing data and rotation curves of dwarf galaxies indicate that many galactic clusters may have a soft core instead of a central cusp in their density distribution. This result challenges the standard CDM (Cold Dark Matter)…
We show that dark matter emerging from late decays (z < 1000) produces a linear power spectrum identical to that of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) on all observationally relavant scales (> 0.1 Mpc), and simultaneously generates observable…
Building upon results of cosmological simulations of ultra-light scalar field dark matter (SFDM), we present a comprehensive model for the density profiles of SFDM haloes as a function of halo virial mass $M_{\rm h}$ and scalar field mass…
N-body simulations and analytical calculations of the gravitational collapse in an expanding universe predict that halos should form with a diverging inner density profile, the cusp. There are some observational indications that the dark…
We derive inner dark matter halo density profiles for a sample of 165 low-mass galaxies using rotation curves obtained from high-quality, long-slit optical spectra assuming minimal disks and spherical symmetry. For $\rho(r) \sim…
