Boson Star from Repulsive Light Scalars and Gravitational Waves
arXiv:1810.01420 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2019/04/008
Abstract
We study properties of boson stars consisting of ultra-light scalar dark matter with repulsive self-interactions. We investigate the origin of the maximum mass of spherically symmetric stable stars which emerges only when solving the full equations of motion in curved space-time, but not when solving the approximated Schrödinger-Newton equations. When the repulsion is weak, the backreaction of the curvature on the scalars acts as an additional source of attraction and can overcome the repulsion, resulting in a maximum star mass and compactness. We also point out that the potential in a UV completed particle physics model of light scalar dark matter is generally more complicated than the widely used interaction. Additional interactions beyond in the potential can dramatically change the properties of boson stars as well as modify the prospect of LIGO gravitational wave detection for binary mergers of boson stars.
