Bosonic gas as a Galactic Dark Matter Halo
read the original abstract
We study in detail the properties of gravitationally-bounded multi-state configurations, made of spin-zero bosons, in the Newtonian regime. We show that the properties of such configurations, in particular their stability, depend upon how the particles are distributed in the different states they are composed of. Numerical techniques are used to distinguish between stable and unstable solutions, and to determine the final configurations they evolve towards to. Multi-state equilibrium configurations can be used as models of galactic halos made of scalar field dark matter, whose rotation curves appear more realistic than in the case of single-state configurations.
