Abstract

We investigate a Bardeen model coupling Einstein gravity with nonlinear electromagnetic fields and non-topological soliton complex scalar fields, governed by the magnetic charge , the complex scalar field frequency , and the self-interaction parameter . Our results reveal that the magnetic charge exhibits -dependent critical values , beyond which () Bardeen boson stars (BBSs) may transition into frozen states (). These frozen states are characterized by a critical horizon whose radius satisfies , where and denote the inner and outer horizons of magnetic Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes with equivalent mass and magnetic charge. Notably, the ADM mass of frozen BBSs is independent of . Furthermore, light ring (LR) solutions exist universally across all tested combinations of and , with all frozen BBSs exhibiting LRs whose outer radius is independent of . Compared to magnetic RN black holes, frozen BBSs possess a smaller outer LR radius ().
