We present a scenario for galaxy formation based on the hypothesis of scalar field dark matter. We interpret galaxy formation through the collapse of a scalar field fluctuation. We find that a cosh potential for the self-interaction of the scalar field provides a reasonable scenario for galactic formation, which is in agreement with cosmological observations and phenomenological studies in galaxies.

Massive boson stars: Stability and GW emission in head-on mergers
Numerical evolutions of quartically self-interacting boson stars reveal three merger outcomes and a non-monotonic gravitational-wave energy pattern driven by the competition between compactness and tidal deformability.
