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.

A natural explanation of the Galactic Magnetic Fields from multistate Scalar Field Dark Matter

In this article, we investigate the possibility that the large-scale magnetic fields observed in galaxies, of the order of microgauss, arise naturally from a complex Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM) halo charged under a local $U(1)$ symmetry. Extending our previous work, where multistate SFDM solutions were shown to form ``gravitational atoms'' capable of explaining the anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies (VPOS), we analyze here the coupled dynamics of the scalar and a gauge field at the perturbative level. By solving the perturbed Klein-Gordon and gauge-field equations, we find the temporal evolution and show that the spatial structure of the induced electromagnetic fields is governed by the same spherical Bessel functions and spherical harmonics that characterize the ground and excited states of the multi-state SFDM halo. Remarkably, the presence of the gauge field does not modify the dark-matter density distribution, which preserves the multi-state configuration previously obtained. Our results demonstrate that a charged multi-state SFDM halo can generate coherent, large-scale magnetic fields whose morphology is determined by the excited modes of the scalar field, providing a unified framework in which both galactic magnetic fields and VPOS-like structures originate from the underlying quantum nature of dark matter.
