Abstract

We consider excited configuration and multistate configuration of rotating axion boson stars~(RABSs).RABSs are asymptotically flat, stationary, spinning, horizonless solutions of Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory in which the scalar potential depends on scalar field mass μ\mu and axion decay constant faf_a. The excited RABSs have two types of solutions, including 2S^2S state and 2P^2P state. The rotating multistate axion boson stars~(RMABSs) consist of coupled fundamental configuration and excited configuration, and also include two types of solutions: 1S2S^1S^2S state and 1S2P^1S^2P state. Some differences between RABSs models and rotating mini-boson stars models are discussed. We show the solution space of these models for different values of decay constant faf_a. We found fundamental RABSs have a higher maximum mass than the excited state in the low decay constant region. Moreover, the multistate configuration allows a higher mass than both the fundamental configuration and the excited configuration at the same frequency. We also found the RMABSs have the second branch in which the ergo-region emerges. This means the second branch may be superradiant unstable.
