<< One alternative to the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm is the scalar field dark matter (SFDM) model >>
<< If the dark matter is indeed an ultra-light boson, our results imply that the DM [dark matter] haloes of galaxies and galaxy clusters may not be fully BEC [Bose-Einstein condensates ] systems. In contrast, agreement with observations at different mass scales is achievable for multistate SFDM configurations >>
