摘要
We start with a model where the dark matter is of scalar field nature, which condensates and form the dark halos of galaxies. In this work we study Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) where the scalar field particles are in many different states, and not only in the ground state, as in a realistic BEC. We find that this model is in better agreement with the rotation curves of galaxies than previous models with scalar field dark matter.
