description | ABSTRACT
Dark matter (DM) as a Bose–Einstein condensate, such as the axionic scalar field particles of String Theory, can explain the coldness of DM on large scales. Pioneering simulations in this context predict a rich wave-like structure, with a ground state soliton core in every galaxy surrounded by a halo of excited states that interfere on the de Broglie scale. This de Broglie scale is largest for the low-mass galaxies as momentum is lower, providing a simple explanation for the wide cores of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Here we extend these ‘wave dark matter’ (ψDM) predictions to the newly discovered class of ‘ultra-diffuse galaxies’ (UDG) that resemble dwarf spheroidal galaxies but with more extended stellar profiles. Currently, the best-studied example, ‘Dragon Fly 44’ (DF44), has a uniform velocity dispersion of ≃33 km s−1, extending to at least 3 kpc, that we show is reproduced by our ψDM simulations with a soliton radius of ≃0.5 kpc. In the ψDM context, we show that relatively flat dispersion profile of DF44 lies between massive galaxies with compact dense solitons, as may be present in the Milky Way on a scale of 100 pc and lower mass galaxies where the velocity dispersion declines centrally within a wide, low-density soliton, like Antlia II, of radius 3 kpc. |
