Wave dark matter

L Hui - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We review the physics and phenomenology of wave dark matter: a bosonic dark matter
candidate lighter than about 30 eV. Such particles have a de Broglie wavelength exceeding …

The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

V Cardoso, P Pani - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2019 - Springer
Very compact objects probe extreme gravitational fields and may be the key to understand
outstanding puzzles in fundamental physics. These include the nature of dark matter, the …

New experimental approaches in the search for axion-like particles

IG Irastorza, J Redondo - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
Axions and other very light axion-like particles appear in many extensions of the Standard
Model, and are leading candidates to compose part or all of the missing matter of the …

Ultralight scalars as cosmological dark matter

L Hui, JP Ostriker, S Tremaine, E Witten - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Many aspects of the large-scale structure of the Universe can be described successfully
using cosmological models in which 27±1% of the critical mass-energy density consists of …

Gravitational Bose-Einstein condensation in the kinetic regime

DG Levkov, AG Panin, II Tkachev - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We study Bose-Einstein condensation and the formation of Bose stars in virialized dark
matter halos and miniclusters by universal gravitational interactions. We prove that this …

Boson stars and oscillatons: A review

L Visinelli - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2021 - World Scientific
Compact objects occupy a pivotal role in the exploration of Nature. The interest spans from
the role of compact objects in astrophysics to their detection through various methods …

Primordial black holes from α-attractors

I Dalianis, A Kehagias, G Tringas - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider primordial black hole (PBH) production in inflationary α-attractors. We discuss
two classes of models, namely models with a minimal polynomial superpotential as well as …
