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.…

We study the scattering of boson-star binaries, taking into account three effects: point-mass gravitational, tidal, and short-range scalar-field interactions. We compare analytic results to the scattering angle extracted from four sequences…

$\ell$-boson stars are static, spherical, multi-field self-gravitating solitons. They are asymptotically flat, finite energy solutions of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to an odd number of massive, complex scalar fields. A previous…
