Lensing and light rings of parity-odd rotating boson stars
arXiv:2410.20867
Abstract
We obtain the first image of a parity-odd celestial body. Recently, an intriguing parity-odd rotating boson star was proposed. We investigate the lensing effects of these stars in detail. Our analysis demonstrates distinct gravitational distortions around these stars, clearly differentiating them from their parity-even counterparts. Furthermore, we analyze the conditions under which chaotic behavior appears in the images of ultra-compact stars.
