abstract
In the context of structure formation with ultralight axion dark matter, we offer an alternative explanation for the mass relation of solitonic cores and their host halos observed in numerical simulations. Our argument is based entirely on the mass gain that occurs during major mergers of binary cores and largely independent of the initial core-halo mass relation assigned to hosts that have just collapsed. We find a relation between the halo mass $M_h$ and corresponding core mass $M_c$, $M_c\propto M_h^{2\beta-1}$, where $(1-\beta)$ is the core mass loss fraction. Following the evolution of core masses in stochastic merger trees, we find empirical evidence for our model. Our results are useful for statistically modeling the effects of dark matter cores on the properties of galaxies and their substructures in axion dark matter cosmologies.

Core-Halo Mass Relation in Cosmological Vector Dark Matter
Confirmed Proca-star cores in vector dark matter follow M_star ≈ 2.65 M_halo^0.64, with only about 10% of halos hosting a detectable core.

Spin Polarization of Proca Stars Formed by Gravitational Bose--Einstein Condensation
Gravitationally condensed Proca stars exhibit partial spin polarization controlled by the elliptical polarization of the dominant component-space mode, with ensemble mean χ_net ≈ 0.62 and large realization-to-realizat...

Soliton self-gravity and core-halo relation in fuzzy dark matter halos
A two-parameter model including soliton self-gravity shows that simulated fuzzy dark matter cores sit between the self-gravity and host-halo regimes, and that core-halo scatter depends on both halo concentration and c...
