Alternative explanation of Fermi Bubbles using Scalar Field Dark Matter

In recent times, the Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM) model (also called Fuzzy, Wave, Ultralight dark matter model) has received much attention due to its success in describing dark matter on both cosmological and galactic scales. Several challenges of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model can be explained very easily and naturally by the SFDM model. Two of these challenges are to describe the anomalous trajectories of satellite galaxies called the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS) and to explain the magnetic fields observed in our galaxy. In previous works an alternative explanation for VPOS and the magnetic fields of our galaxy was proposed using the SFDM excited states, explaining the anomalous trajectories in a natural and simple way. In this work we use the same dark matter endowed with a extremely small charge that explains the magnetic fields of our galaxy to show that these excited states of SFDM can provide a very simple and natural explanation for Fermi Bubbles (FBs). If this assumption is correct, we should see FBs in several more galaxies, these observations would take place in the near future and could be crucial to the ultimate answer to the nature of dark matter.

Ultra light bosonic dark matter and cosmic microwave background

In this paper, we consider the hypothesis in which a species of ultra light bosonic dark matter (ULBDM) with mass $m_{B}\sim 10^{-22}$ eV could be the dominant dark matter (DM) in the Universe. As a first approach we work in the context of kinetic theory, where ULBDM is described by the phase space distribution function whose dynamics is dictated by the Boltzmann-Einstein equations. We investigate the effects that this kind of dark matter imprints in the acoustic peaks of the cosmic microwave background. We find that the effect of the Bose-Einstein statistics is small, albeit perceptible, and is equivalent to an increase of non-relativistic matter. It is stressed that in this approach, the mass-to-temperature ratio necessary for ULBDM to be a plausible DM candidate is about five orders of magnitude. We show that reionization is also necessary and we address a range of consistent values for this model. We find that the temperature of ULBDM is below the critical value, impliying that Bose-Einstein condensation is inherent to the ULBDM paradigm.
