Gravitational waves as a new probe of Bose–Einstein condensate Dark Matter

There exists a class of ultralight Dark Matter (DM) models which could give rise to a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in the early universe and behave as a single coherent wave instead of individual particles in galaxies. We show that a generic BEC-DM halo intervening along the line of sight of a gra...
