Could galactic magnetic fields be generated by charged ultra-light boson dark matter?
Abstract We study the possibility that large-scale magnetic fields observed in galaxies could be produced by a dark matter halo made of charged ultra-light bosons, that arise as excitations of a complex scalar field described by the Klein–Gordon equation with local U(1) symmetry which introduces ele...
