Galactic Halos As Boson Stars

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-19 v2 Astrophysics

Abstract

We investigate the boson star with the self-interacting scalar field as a model of galactic halos. The model has slightly increasing rotation curves and allows wider ranges of the mass(mm) and coupling(λ\lambda) of the halo dark matter particle than the non-interacting model previously suggested(ref.\cite{sin1}). Two quantities are related by λ12(mp/m)2\st>1050\lambda^{\frac{1}{2}} (m_p/m)^2\st{>}{\sim} 10^{50}.
