Description

Ultra-light axions is one of the most widely considered models of dark matter. In my talk, I will focus on the formation of cosmic web, first structures, stars and galaxies in a fuzzy dark matter universe. We model star and galaxy formation using a hydrodynamical code AREPO coupled to the ultra-light dark matter component solved using Schrodinger-Poisson code. We explore properties of the first objects and compare the results to the control CDM case.
