英文摘要 | The fuzzy dark matter model (FDM; also known as quantum wave dark matter model) argues that light bosons with a mass of 10-22 eV are a possible candidate for dark matter in the universe. One of the most important predictions of FDM is the formation of a soliton core instead of a density cusp at the center of galaxies. If FDM is the correct theory of dark matter, then the predicted soliton core can help form the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) in the Milky Way. We present high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of gas flow patterns to constrain the properties of the soliton core based on a realistic Milky Way potential. We find that a dense center is required to form a reasonable CMZ. The size and kinematics of the CMZ offer a relatively strong constraint on the inner enclosed mass profile of the Galaxy. If a soliton core is not considered, a compact nuclear bulge alone with a radially varying mass-to-light ratio can match the observed size and kinematics of the CMZ. A soliton core model with a mass of 4.0 ' 108 M. and a core radius of 0.05 kpc, together with a less massive nuclear bulge with a constant mass-to-light ratio, also agrees nicely with the current data. Such an FDM soliton core corresponds to a boson mass of (2-7)' 10-22 eV, which could be further constrained by the improved determination of the mass-to-light ratio in the Galactic center. |
