Radiations from Oscillating Axionic Boson Stars in an External Magnetic Field

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We solve numerically a field equation of axions coupled with gravity and show solutions representing oscillating axionic boson stars with small mass 1012M\sim 10^{-12}M_{\odot} and large radius 108\sim 10^{8} cm. We present explicitly a relation between the mass and the radius of the boson stars with such a small mass. These axionic boson stars are shown to possess oscillating electric currents in an external magnetic field and to radiate electromagnetic fields with a frequency given by mass of the axions. We estimate the luminosity of the radiation in a strong magnetic field 101210^{12}G of neutron stars, typically 1024\sim 10^{24} erg/s with the axion mass being 10510^{-5}eV.
