Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter model tested by galactic rotation
  curves
  Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are fundamental tools in the study of dark
matter. Here we test the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) dark matter model
against rotation curve data of High and Low Surface Brightness (HSB and LSB)
galaxies, respectively. When the rotational velocities increase over the whole
observed range, the fit of the BEC model is similar to the one of the
Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter model. When however the rotation curves
exhibit long flat regions, the NFW profiles provide a slightly better fit.
