Description
In this talk, I will discuss the latest efforts to constrain the mass of the ultra-light dark matter models, focusing on the current bounds of the fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model. I will show how we can use the different predictions of this model and different astrophysical systems to put the strongest bounds to date on the mass of this ultra-light axion, also showing the incompatibilities currently present in these bounds. Particular focus will be given to the current developments in using interference patterns to probe the FDM model showing how strong lensing and pulsar timing arrays are powerful probes to measure this wave behaviour.
