Gravitational Bose-Einstein condensation in the kinetic regime
read the original abstract
We study Bose-Einstein condensation and formation of Bose stars in the virialized dark matter halos/miniclusters by universal gravitational interactions. We prove that this phenomenon does occur and it is described by kinetic equation. We give expression for the condensation time. Our results suggest that Bose stars may form kinetically in the mainstream dark matter models such as invisible QCD axions and Fuzzy Dark Matter.

Axion Star Bosenova in Axion Miniclusters
Axion stars in miniclusters can reach bosenova conditions within the age of the Universe for QCD axions when initial overdensity exceeds roughly 100, once self-interaction effects are included.
