Slowly rotating Bose Einstein condensate galactic dark matter halos, and their rotation curves

Abstract If dark matter is composed of massive bosons, a Bose–Einstein condensation process must have occurred during the cosmological evolution. Therefore galactic dark matter may be in a form of a condensate, characterized by a strong self-interaction. We consider the effects of rotation on the Bo...
