Abstract

Recent fully non-linear simulations of ultracompact spherically symmetric boson stars have presented evidence for their long-term stability. All observed dynamics could be mainly attributed to the fundamental radial mode. In this work, we additionally decompose some of the data in spherical harmonics, providing a first step towards the characterization of non-spherical modes present.
