Popis: We consider a gravitational plane wave passing through a galactic dark matter halo composed of weakly self-interacting, self-gravitating, Bose-Einstein condensate of ultralight particles. Treating the gravitational wave as a time dependent perturbation, we study energy transfer between the gravitational wave and the Bose-Einstein condensate by applying linear response theory to a non-uniform condensate described by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory, and compute the fractional loss in gravitational wave energy. We apply our results to investigate the extent to which this loss effects the estimation of the distance between the gravitational wave source and the earth. We show that the effect is negligible.
