Bound states of complex scalar fields (boson stars) have long been proposed as possible candidates for the dark matter in the universe. Considerable work has already been done to study various aspects of boson stars. In the present work,…

Boson stars, hypothetical astrophysical objects bound by the self-gravity of a scalar field, have been widely studied as a type of exotic compact object that is horizonless and provides a testing ground for physics beyond the Standard…
We study charged boson stars in scalar-tensor (ST) gravitational theories. We analyse the weak field limit of the solutions and analytically show that there is a maximum charge to mass ratio for the bosons above which the weak field…
We study the stability of rotating scalar boson stars, comparing those made from a simple massive complex scalar (referred to as mini boson stars), to those with several different types of nonlinear interactions. To that end, we numerically…
In this talk, we present a review of our work on boson stars in a theory of a massless complex scalar field in the presence of a $U(1)$ gauge field and gravity. A sequence of bifurcation points obtained in the phase diagrams of the theory…

In this article, we investigate the stationary, soliton-like solutions in the model of the Einstein gravity coupled to a free and complex scalar field, and extend chains of mini-boson stars to the rotating case. These solutions manifest as…
We discuss spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations for a real scalar field with a mass and a quartic self-interaction term. As for the massless case the solutions have a naked singularity at the origin.…
Boson stars are descendants of the so-called geons of Wheeler, except that they are built from scalar particles instead of electromagnetic fields. If scalar fields exist in nature, such localized configurations kept together by their…
