Bondi accretion assumes that there is a sink of mass at the center -- which in case of a black hole (BH) corresponds to the advection of matter across the event horizon. Other stars, such as a neutron star (NS), have surfaces and hence the…
We study the transition of charged boson stars from sub- to super-criticality. This transition is defined as that choice of coupling constants for which the Coulomb repulsion of two individual bosons (that make up the star) exactly cancels…
We study novel solitonic solutions to Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory in the presence of a periodic scalar potential arising in models of axion-like particles. The potential depends on two parameters: the mass of the scalar field $m_a$ and the…
In this work we study the boson stars and boson shells in a theory involving massive complex scalar fields coupled to the U(1) gauge field and gravity in a conical potential in the presence of a cosmological constant ${\Lambda}$ which we…
Static spherically symmetric black holes and particle like solutions with self interacting minimally coupled scalar field {\phi} are analyzed. They are asymptotically flat or anti-de Sitter (AdS). We express them in terms of a single…
Spherical clusters of SU(2) BPS monopoles are investigated here. A large class of monopole solutions is found using an abelian approximation, where the clusters are spherically symmetric, although exact solutions cannot have this symmetry…
Recently, the piercing of a mini boson star by a black hole was studied, with tidal capture and the discovery of a "gravitational atom" being reported ( arXiv:2206.00021 [gr-qc] ). Building on this research, we extend the study by including…
In this work we show that single horizon black hole behaves as a "laser". It is in many aspects conceptually analogous to Corley and Jacobson work on the two horizon black hole "laser". We started by proposition that circumference of the…
We consider spherically symmetric $U(1)$ gauged boson stars in the two-component scalar Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model with a symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional spacetime. Depending on the relative strength of gravity and the…
This work studies the formation and growth of boson stars and their surrounding miniclusters by gravitational condensation using non-linear dynamical numerical methods. Fully dynamical attractive and repulsive self-interactions are also…
Fuzzy dark matter is an exciting alternative to the standard cold dark matter paradigm, reproducing its large scale predictions, while solving most of the existing tension with small scale observations. These models postulate that dark…
In this work we have used for the first time pseudo-spectral methods to perform numerical simulations of spherically symmetric black hole formations on a Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe. With these methods, the differential equations…
We consider galaxy halos formed by dark matter bosons with mass in the range of about a few tens or hundreds eV. A major part of the particles is in a noncondensed state and described under the Thomas-Fermi approach. Derived equations are…
We show that spherical accretion onto astrophysical black holes can be considered as a natural example of analogue system. We provide, for the first time, an exact analytical scheme for calculating the analogue Hawking temperature and…
Scalar fields can give rise to confined structures, such as boson stars or Q-balls. These objects are interesting hypothetical new "dark matter stars," but also good descriptions of dark matter haloes when the fields are ultralight. Here,…
To be presented is a study of the secular evolution of a spherical stellar system with a central star-accreting black hole (BH) using the anisotropic gaseous model. This method solves numerically moment equations of the full Fokker-Planck…
The higher dimensional spherical symmetric scalar field collapse problem is studied in the light of the critical behavior in black hole formation. To make the analysis tractable, the self similarity is also imposed. By giving a new view to…
Ultralight boson is one of the potential candidates for dark matter. If exists, it can be generated by a rapidly rotating black hole via superradiance, extracting the energy and angular momentum of the black hole and forming a boson cloud.…
Theoretical models of self-interacting dark matter offer a promising solution to several unresolved issues within the collisionless cold dark matter framework. For asymmetric dark matter, these self-interactions may encourage gravitational…
We discuss boson stars as possible gravitational lenses and study the lensing effect by these objects made of scalar particles. The mass and the size of a boson star may vary from an individual Newtonian object similar to the Sun to the…
