A review of basic results on the Bose–Einstein condensate dark matter model

We review basic results on the Bose–Einstein condensate dark matter (BECDM) model. Self-gravitating BECs experience a collisionless process of gravitational cooling and violent relaxation, leading to BECDM halos with a “core-envelope” structure. The quantum core (soliton), which is the ground state...
