We study angularly excited as well as interacting non-topological solitons, so-called Q-balls and their gravitating counterparts, so-called boson stars in 3+1 dimensions. Q-balls and boson stars carry a non-vanishing Noether charge and…

We investigated the possibility that compact stars could be described by a fermion-boson star with a quartic self-interaction in the boson sector. Specifically, by varying the polytropic constant $K$ and adiabatic index $\Gamma$ in the…
