We solve the Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system of equations and derive a compact, static axially symmetric magnetized object which is electrically neutral and made of two complex massive charged scalar fields. We describe several…

Light scalar fields can form gravitationally bound compact objects called boson stars. The profile of boson stars in the Newtonian limit is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations. We present a semi-analytic solution to these…

In this paper we study gravitationally bound compact objects sourced by a string theory inspired Born-Infeld scalar field. Unlike many of their canonical scalar field counterparts, these ``boson stars'' do not have to extend out to infinity…

Boson stars have attracted much attention in recent decades as simple, self-consistent models of compact objects and also as self-gravitating structures formed in some dark-matter scenarios. Direct detection of these hypothetical objects…

We study numerical evolutions of an initial cloud of self-gravitating bosonic dark matter with finite angular momentum and self-interaction in kinetic regime. It is demonstrated that such a system can undergo gravitational condensation and…
