Bose-Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves

Table 3

The best fit BEC and NFW parameters of the LSB I and II type galaxies (the first and last three galaxies, respectively). is taken from [38]. The rest of the parameters are rotation curve fits. For LSB I galaxies the BEC DM model gives significantly better fitting velocity curves (within 1 confidence level) than the NFW model. However the velocity curves are outside the 1 confidence level for LSB II galaxies.
