Self-Gravitating Bose-Einstein Condensates and the Thomas-Fermi Approximation

Self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) have been proposed in various astrophysical contexts, including Bose-stars and BEC dark matter halos. These systems are described by a combination of the Gross-Pitaevskii and Poisson equations (the GPP system). In the analysis of these hypothetical ob...
