The hypothesis that dark matter and dark energy are unified through the Chaplygin gas is reexamined. Using generalizations of the spherical model which incorporate effects of the acoustic horizon we show that an initially perturbative Chaplygin gas evolves into a mixed system containing cold dark matter-like gravitational condensate.
The hypothesis that dark matter and dark energy are unified through the Chaplygin gas is reexamined. Using a generalization of the spherical model which incorporates effects of the acoustic horizon we show that an initially perturbative Chaplygin gas evolves into a mixed system containing cold dark matter in the form of gravitational condensate. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the observed CMB angular and baryonic power spectra are reproduced.
Through reformulating the cold, self-gravitating fermion gas as a Bose condensate by identifying their mutual Thomas-Fermi limits, the dissipationless formation of a heavy neutrino star in gravitational collapse is numerically demonstrated. Such stars offer an alternative to supermassive black holes for the compact dark objects at the centers of galaxies.
The dynamics of a self-gravitating cold Fermi gas is described using the analogy with an interacting self-gravitating Bose condensate having the same Thomas-Fermi limit. The dissipationless formation of a heavy neutrino star through gravitational collapse and ejection of matter is demonstrated numerically. Such neutrino stars offer an alternative to black holes for the supermassive compact dark objects at the centers of galaxies.
