Dirac stars supported by nonlinear spinor fields

Abstract

We study configurations consisting of a gravitating spinor field $\psi$ with a nonlinearity of the type $\lambda {\left(\bar{\psi }\psi \right)}^2$. To ensure spherical symmetry of the configurations, we use two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fields forming a spin singlet. For such systems, we find regular stationary asymptotically flat solutions describing compact objects. For negative values of the coupling constant $\lambda$, it is shown that, by choosing physically reasonable values of this constant, it is possible to obtain configurations with masses comparable to the Chandrasekhar mass. It enables us to speak of an astrophysical interpretation of the obtained systems, regarding them as Dirac stars.
