We investigate a simple model for a galactic halo under the assumption that it is dominated by a dark matter component in the form of a Bose-Einstein condensate involving an ultra-light scalar particle. In particular we discuss the possibility if the dark matter is in superfluid state then a rotating galactic halo might contain quantised vortices which would be low-energy analogues of cosmic strings. Using known solutions for the density profiles of such vortices we compute the self-gravitational interactions in such halos and place bounds on the parameters describing such models, such as the mass of the particles involved.

  1. Vortex-reconnection energy bounds in Bose-Einstein-condensed and superfluid dark matter halos

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Vortex reconnections in BEC/superfluid dark matter halos produce dark-sector heating at a rate that is secular but sub-virial for relaxed non-interacting soliton cores, with the dominant uncertainty being the true vor...

  2. Vortices and rotating solitons in ultralight dark matter

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rotating solitons in self-interacting ultralight dark matter form through a uniform vortex lattice, with a maximum radius about 1.59 times and a maximum rotation rate about 1.34 times the square root of the central density.

  3. Classical Fluid Analogies for Schr\"odinger-Newton Systems

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors show that classical fluid analogies for Schrödinger-Newton systems are only consistent in a semi-classical limit and that a pseudo-Reynolds number can be defined for void dynamics.
