On the Dynamical Heating of Dwarf Galaxies in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo

Fuzzy dark matter (FDM), consisting of ultralight bosons, is an intriguing alternative to cold dark matter. Numerical simulations solving the Schrödinger–Poisson (SP) equation, which governs FDM dynamics, show that FDM halos consist of a central solitonic core (representing the ground state of the S...
