Constraining scalar field properties with boson stars as black hole mimickers
J. Barranco, A. Bernal
Constraints to the mass of a scalar field and the strength of its self-interacting coupling constant are obtained. This was done using observations of stellar dynamics at the cente…

Are black holes a serious threat to scalar field dark matter models?
Juan Barranco, Argelia Bernal, Juan Carlos Degollado +5
Classical scalar fields have been proposed as possible candidates for the dark matter component of the universe. Given the fact that super-massive black holes seem to exist at the…
