An axially-symmetric Newtonian Boson Star

Astrophysics 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

A new solution to the coupled gravitational and scalar field equations for a condensed boson field is found in Newtonian approximation. The solution is axially symmetric, but not spherically symmetric. For N particles the mass of the object is given by M=Nm0.02298N3GN2m5M = Nm - 0.02298 N^3 G_N^2 m^5, to be compared with M=Nm0.05426N3GN2m5M = Nm - 0.05426 N^3 G_N^2 m^5 for the spherically symmetric case.
