Vortex Structures in a Rotating BEC Dark Matter Component

Figure 1

Rotation curves based on BEC DM with a vortex lattice for different halo sizes 𝑟 0 = 8 (full), 𝑟 0 = 4 (dotted), and 𝑟 0 = 2  kpc (dashed). The vortex core size is 5 kpc. In the left column the distance between vortices is 2.5 kpc, whereas it is 1 kpc in the right column. Upper row is for a triangular lattice, and the lower one is for a square lattice.
