The newly established luminosity functions of high-z galaxies at $4 lesssim z lesssim 10$ can provide a stringent check on dark matter models that aim to explain the core properties of dwarf galaxies. The cores of dwarf spheroidal galaxies are understood to be too large to be accounted for by free streaming of warm dark matter without overly suppressing the formation of such galaxies. Here we demonstrate with cosmological simulations that wave dark matter, $psi$DM, appropriate for light bosons such as axions, does not suffer this problem, given a boson mass of $m_{psi} ge 1.2 times 10^{-22}{,rm eV}$ ($2sigma$). In this case, the halo mass function is suppressed below $sim 10^{10}{,M_odot}$ at a level that is consistent with the high-z luminosity functions, while simultaneously generating the kpc-scale cores in dwarf galaxies arising from the solitonic ground state in $psi$DM. We demonstrate that the reionization history in this scenario is consistent with the Thomson optical depth recently reported by Planck, assuming a reasonable ionizing photon production rate. We predict that the luminosity function should turn over slowly around an intrinsic UV luminosity of $M_{rm UV} gtrsim -16$ at $z gtrsim 4$. We also show that for galaxies magnified $mathord{>}10times$ in the Hubble Frontier Fields, $psi$DM predicts an order of magnitude fewer detections than cold dark matter at $z gtrsim 10$ down to $M_{rm UV} sim -15$, allowing us to distinguish between these very different interpretations for the observed coldness of dark matter.

We examine the nonlinear structure of gravitationally collapsed objects that form in our simulations of wavelike cold dark matter ($psi$DM), described by the Schr{o}dinger-Poisson (SP) equation with a particle mass $sim 10^{-22} {rm eV}$. A distinct
gravitationally self-bound solitonic core is found at the center of every halo, with a profile quite different from cores modeled in the warm or self-interacting dark matter scenarios. Furthermore, we show that each solitonic core is surrounded by an extended halo composed of large fluctuating dark matter granules which modulate the halo density on a scale comparable to the diameter of the solitonic core. The scaling symmetry of the SP equation and the uncertainty principle tightly relate the core mass to the halo specific energy, which, in the context of cosmological structure formation, leads to a simple scaling between core mass ($M_c$) and halo mass ($M_h$), $M_c propto a^{-1/2} M_h^{1/3}$, where $a$ is the cosmic scale factor. We verify this scaling relation by (i) examining the internal structure of a statistical sample of virialized halos that form in our 3D cosmological simulations, and by (ii) merging multiple solitons to create individual virialized objects. Sufficient simulation resolution is achieved by adaptive mesh refinement and graphic processing units acceleration. From this scaling relation, present dwarf satellite galaxies are predicted to have kpc sized cores and a minimum mass of $sim 10^8 {M_odot}$, capable of solving the small-scale controversies in the cold dark matter model. Moreover, galaxies of $2times10^{12} {M_odot}$ at $z=8$ should have massive solitonic cores of $sim 2times10^9 {M_odot}$ within $sim 60 {rm pc}$. Such cores can provide a favorable local environment for funneling the gas that leads to the prompt formation of early stellar spheroids and quasars.
Surveying dark matter deficient galaxies (those with dark matter mass to stellar mass ratio $M_{rm dm}/M_{rm star}<1$) in the Illustris simulation of structure formation in the flat-$Lambda$CDM cosmogony, we find $M_{rm star} approx 2 times 10^8, M_s
un$ galaxies that have properties similar to those ascribed by citet{vanDokkumetal2018a} to the ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2. The Illustris simulation also contains more luminous dark matter deficient galaxies. Illustris galaxy subhalo 476171 is a particularly interesting outlier, a massive and very compact galaxy with $M_{rm star} approx 9 times 10^{10}, M_sun$ and $M_{rm dm}/M_{rm star} approx 0.1$ and a half-stellar-mass radius of $approx 2$ kpc. If the Illustris simulation and the $Lambda$CDM model are accurate, there are a significant number of dark matter deficient galaxies, including massive luminous compact ones. It will be interesting to observationally discover these galaxies, and to also more clearly understand how they formed, as they are likely to provide new insight into and constraints on models of structure formation and the nature of dark matter.
We present predictions for the outcome of deep galaxy surveys with the $James$ $Webb$ $Space$ $Telescope$ ($JWST$) obtained from a physical model of galaxy formation in $Lambda$CDM. We use the latest version of the GALFORM model, embedded within a ne
w ($800$ Mpc)$^{3}$ dark matter only simulation with a halo mass resolution of $M_{rm halo}>2times10^{9}$ $h^{-1}$ M$_{odot}$. For computing full UV-to-mm galaxy spectral energy distributions, including the absorption and emission of radiation by dust, we use the spectrophotometric radiative transfer code GRASIL. The model is calibrated to reproduce a broad range of observational data at $zlesssim6$, and we show here that it can also predict evolution of the rest-frame far-UV luminosity function for $7lesssim zlesssim10$ which is in good agreement with observations. We make predictions for the evolution of the luminosity function from $z=16$ to $z=0$ in all broadband filters on the Near InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and Mid InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on $JWST$ and present the resulting galaxy number counts and redshift distributions. Our fiducial model predicts that $sim1$ galaxy per field of view will be observable at $zsim11$ for a $10^4$ s exposure with NIRCam. A variant model, which produces a higher redshift of reionization in better agreement with $Planck$ data, predicts number densities of observable galaxies $sim5times$ greater at this redshift. Similar observations with MIRI are predicted not to detect any galaxies at $zgtrsim6$. We also make predictions for the effect of different exposure times on the redshift distributions of galaxies observable with $JWST$, and for the angular sizes of galaxies in $JWST$ bands.
We study the impact of a warm dark matter (WDM) cosmology on dwarf galaxy formation through a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of $M_{rm halo} approx10^{10},M_{odot}$ dark matter halos as part of the Feedback in Realistic Envi
ronments (FIRE) project. A main focus of this paper is to evaluate the combined effects of dark matter physics and stellar feedback on the well-known small-scale issues found in cold dark matter (CDM) models. We find that the $z=0$ stellar mass of a galaxy is strongly correlated with the central density of its host dark matter halo at the time of formation, $z_{rm f}$, in both CDM and WDM models. WDM halos follow the same $M_{star}(z=0)-V_{rm max}(z_{rm f})$ relation as in CDM, but they form later, are less centrally dense, and therefore contain galaxies that are less massive than their CDM counterparts. As a result, the impact of baryonic effects on the central gravitational potential is typically diminished relative to CDM. However, the combination of delayed formation in WDM and energy input from stellar feedback results in dark matter profiles with lower overall densities. The WDM galaxies studied here have a wider diversity of star formation histories (SFHs) than the same systems simulated in CDM, and the two lowest $M_{star}$ WDM galaxies form all of their stars at late times. The discovery of young ultra-faint dwarf galaxies with no ancient star formation -- which do not exist in our CDM simulations -- would therefore provide evidence in support of WDM.
The leading tensions to the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm are the small-scale controversies, discrepancies between observations at the dwarf-galactic scale and their simulational counterparts. In this work we consider methods to infer
3D morphological information on Local Group dwarf spheroidals, and test the fitness of CDM+hydrodynamics simulations to the observed galaxy shapes. We find that the subpopulation of dwarf galaxies with mass-to-light ratio $gtrsim 100 M_odot/L_odot$ reflects an oblate morphology. This is discrepant with the dwarf galaxies with mass-to-light ratio $lesssim 100 M_odot/L_odot$, which reflect prolate morphologies, and more importantly with simulations of CDM-sourced galaxies which are explicitly prolate. Although more simulations and data are called for, if evidence of oblate pressure-supported stellar distributions persists, we argue that an underlying oblate non-CDM dark matter halo may be required, and present this as motivation for future studies.
