We consider simple hydrodynamical models of galactic dark matter in which the galactic halo is a self-gravitating and self-interacting gas that dominates the dynamics of the galaxy. Modeling this halo as a sphericaly symmetric and static…

We study numerically evolution of a self-gravitating nonequilibrium Bose gas contained in a fixed volume. We find that, even when the volume is small enough to prevent collisionless instability, a compact phase-correlated object (a Bose…

(Abridged)The temperature (T) and entropy (S) fields of baryonic gas/IGM are analyzed using simulation samples by a cosmological hydro/N-body code. We show that in the nonlinear regime the dynamical similarity between the IGM and dark…
