abstract

Inverting the stellar statistics equation from 2MASS star counts, we obtain the 3D density distribution of the Galactic bulge as well as its luminosity function in the K-band. This results in a boxy bulge with axial ratios 1:0.5:0.4 and a major axis angle with respect to the Sun-galactic center of $20^\circ-35^\circ $.

    Environmental effects, especially a central black hole and baryonic matter, can substantially alter fuzzy dark matter soliton profiles, while the soliton's own gravitomagnetic field is negligible.
