Galactic rotation curves of low surface brightness galaxies using core-halo fuzzy dark matter configurations

In this work, we construct galactic halos in order to fit the rotation curves (RCs) of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. These halos are made of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) with a multimode expansion of nonspherical modes that in average contribute to the appropriate density profile consisting of a core and an envelope needed to fit the rotation curves. The coefficients of the expansion are calculated using a genetic algorithm, that minimizes the difference between the spatial average density of the multimode order parameter describing the FDM and the target dark matter density that fits the RCs. The FDM halos are constructed assuming a solitonic core at the center and two types of envelopes, Navarro-Frenk-White and pseudoisothermal density profiles. The resulting FDM configurations are then evolved in order to show how the average density changes in time due to the secular dynamical evolution, along with a condensation process that lead to the growth of the solitonic core.

Abstract

In this work, we construct galactic halos in order to fit the rotation curves (RCs) of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. These halos are made of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) with a multimode expansion of nonspherical modes that in average contribute to the appropriate density profile consisting of a core and an envelope needed to fit the rotation curves. The coefficients of the expansion are calculated using a genetic algorithm, that minimizes the difference between the spatial average density of the multimode order parameter describing the FDM and the target dark matter density that fits the RCs. The FDM halos are constructed assuming a solitonic core at the center and two types of envelopes, Navarro-Frenk-White and pseudoisothermal density profiles. The resulting FDM configurations are then evolved in order to show how the average density changes in time due to the secular dynamical evolution, along with a condensation process that lead to the growth of the solitonic core.
