We extend our previous studies of head-on collisions of boson stars by considering orbiting binary boson stars. We concentrate on equal-mass binaries and study the dynamical behavior of boson/boson and boson/antiboson pairs. We examine the gravitational wave output of these binaries and compare with other compact binaries. Such a comparison lets us probe the apparent simplicity observed in gravitational waves produced by black hole binary systems. In our system of interest however, there is an…

Final fate of compact boson star mergers

Boson stars, self-gravitating objects made of a complex scalar field, have been proposed as simple models for very different scenarios, ranging from galaxy dark matter to black hole mimickers. Here…

arXiv : Gravitational Wave Signatures of Highly Compact Boson Star Binaries

Solitonic boson stars are stable objects made of a complex scalar field with a compactness that can reach values comparable to that of neutron stars. A recent study of the collision of identical…

Malaise and remedy of binary boson-star initial data

Through numerical simulations of boson-star head-on collisions, we explore the quality of binary initial data obtained from the superposition of single-star spacetimes. Our results demonstrate that…

TLDR
This work discusses important varieties of boson stars, their dynamic properties, and some of their uses, concentrating on recent efforts.

Gravitational-wave detectors as particle-physics laboratories: Constraining scalar interactions with a coherent inspiral model of boson-star binaries

Gravitational-wave (GW) detections of binary neutron star coalescences play a crucial role to constrain the microscopic interaction of matter at ultrahigh density. Similarly, if boson stars exist in…

Induced scalarization in boson stars and scalar gravitational radiation

The dynamical evolution of boson stars in scalar-tensor theories of gravity is considered in the physical (Jordan) frame. We focus on the study of spontaneous and induced scalarization, for which we…

Stability of rotating scalar boson stars with nonlinear interactions

We study the stability of rotating scalar boson stars, comparing those made from a simple massive complex scalar (referred to as mini boson stars), to those with several different types of nonlinear…

Boson star with particle size effects

A simple model to study boson stars is to consider these stellar objects as quantum systems of $N$ identical self-gravitating particles within a non-relativistic framework. Some results obtained with…

Fundamental oscillation modes of self-interacting bosonic dark stars

We perform a detailed analysis of the fundamental f-mode frequencies and damping times of nonrotating stellar-mass boson stars in general relativity by solving the nonradial perturbation equations.…

Dynamical bar-mode instability in spinning bosonic stars

Spinning bosonic stars (SBSs) can form from the gravitational collapse of a dilute cloud of scalar/Proca particles with non-zero angular momentum. In a recent work we found that the scalar stars are…
