Galactic Rotation Curves of LSB Galaxies using core-halo FDM configurations (2406.17984v2)

Abstract: In this work, we construct galactic halos in order to fit the rotation curves (RCs) of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. These halos are made of Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) with a multimode expansion of non-spherical modes that in average contribute to the appropriate density profile consisting of a core and an envelope needed to fit the rotation curves. The coefficients of the expansion are calculated using a genetic algorithm, that minimizes the difference between the spatial average density of the multimode order parameter describing the FDM and the target dark matter density that fits the RCs. The FDM halos are constructed assuming a solitonic core at the center and two types of envelopes, Navarro-Frenk-White and Pseudo-Isothermal density profiles. The resulting FDM configurations are then evolved in order to show how the average density changes in time due to the secular dynamical evolution, along with a condensation process that lead to the growth of the solitonic core.
