abstract = {The axions produced during the QCD phase transition by
vacuum realignment, string decay and domain wall decay
thermalize as a result of their gravitational
self-interactions when the photon temperature is
approximately 500 eV. They then form a Bose-Einstein
condensate (BEC). Because the axion BEC rethermalizes on
time scales shorter than the age of the universe, it has
properties that distinguish it from other forms of cold dark
matter. The observational evidence for caustic rings of dark
matter in galactic halos is explained if the dark matter is
axions, at least in part, but not if the dark matter is
entirely WIMPs or sterile neutrinos.},
