Abstract

This paper presents an asymptotic reduction of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system with real scalar field ("soliton star problem"). A periodic solution of the reduced system, similar to the sine-Gordon breather, is obtained by a variational method. This tallies with numerical computations. As a consequence, a time-periodic redshift for sources close to the center of the star is obtained.
