Self-gravitating system made of axions
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the inclusion of an axion-like effective potential in the construction of a selfgravitating system made of scalar fields leads to a decrease on its compactness when the value of the self-interaction coupling constant is increased. By including the current values for the axion mass m and decay constant fa, we have computed the mass and the radius for self-gravitating systems made of axion particles. It is found that such objects will have asteroid-size masses and radius of few meters, then, the self-gravitating system made of axions could play the role of scalar mini-machos that are mimicking a cold dark matter model for the galactic halo.

Test-Bed Simulations of Collisionless, Self-Gravitating Systems Using the Schrödinger Method
The Schrödinger Method is a novel approach for modeling numerically self-gravitating, collisionless systems that may have certain advantages over N-body and phase space methods. In particular, smoothing is part of the dynamics and not just the force calculation. This paper describes test-bed simulations which illustrate the viability of the Schrödinger Method. We develop the techniques necessar...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملTowards a realistic axion star
In this work we estimate the radius and the mass of a self-gravitating system made of axions. The quantum axion field satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation in a curved space-time and the metric components of this space-time are solutions to the Einstein equations with a source term given by the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum operator constructed from the axion field. As a first s...
متن کاملLong-Range Correlations in Self-Gravitating N-Body Systems
Observed self-gravitating systems reveal often fragmented non-equilibrium structures that feature characteristic long-range correlations. However, models accounting for non-linear structure growth are not always consistent with observations and a better understanding of self-gravitating N-body systems appears necessary. Because unstable gravitating systems are sensitive to non-gravitational per...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion as a signature of collapsing phase in two dimensional self-gravitating systems
A two dimensional self-gravitating Hamiltonian model made by N fullycoupled classical particles exhibits a transition from a collapsing phase (CP) at low energy to a homogeneous phase (HP) at high energy. From a dynamical point of view, the two phases are characterized by two distinct single-particle motions : namely, superdiffusive in the CP and ballistic in the HP. Anomalous diffusion is obse...
