Description
In this talk we will review the model of superfluid dark matter, based on the existence of sub-eV particles with repulsive self-interactions. These particles are able to generate a superfluid core in galaxies upon Bose-Einstein condensation and thermalisation. We will delve into the various phenomenological implications of the model, including the formation of vortices, the behaviour around black holes and dynamical friction, and discuss prospects of detectability through gravitational wave experiments.
