Abstract
In a recent work (Torres, Capozziello and Lambiase, Physical Review D62, 104012 (2000)), it was shown that a supermassive boson star could provide an alternative model for the galactic center, usually assumed as a black hole. Here we comment on some of the possibilities to actually detect this object, and how can it be distinguished from the standard and other alternative models.
