Effective no-hair relations for spinning Boson Stars

Abstract

Boson Stars are, at present, hypothetical compact stellar objects whose existence, however, could resolve several enigmas of current astrophysics. If they exist, either as independent astrophysical entities or as a matter admixture of more standard compact stars, then their imprints can probably be observed in the not-too-distant future from the gravitational signal of coalescing binaries in current and future GW detectors. Here we show that the multipole moments of rotating boson stars obey certain universal relations, valid for a broad set of models and various states in terms of the \textit{harmonic indices}. These universal relations are equivalent to a kind of no-hair theorem for this exotic matter, allowing to map these universal (i.e. model independent) multipoles to an equally universal gravitational field around the stellar object. Further, the multipole moments can be related to observable astrophysical quantities.
