Towards an Analytic Construction of the Wavefunction of Boson Stars
arXiv:1706.04272 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.044039
Abstract
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 equations and construct the profile of boson stars formed by a non-interacting scalar field. Our solution is stable with respect to numerical errors and has accuracy better than over the entire range.
