We develop the suggestion that dark matter could be a Bose-Einstein condensate. We determine the mass-radius relation of a Newtonian self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensate with short-range interactions described by the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson system. We numerically solve the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium describing the balance between the gravitational attraction and the pressure due to quantum effects (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) and short-range interactions (scattering). We connect the noninteracting limit to the Thomas-Fermi limit. We also consider the case of attractive self-interaction. We compare the exact mass-radius relation obtained numerically with the approximate analytical relation obtained with a Gaussian ansatz. An overall good agreement is found.
