abstract
We present results from a study of the fine structure of oscillon dynamics in the 3+1 spherically symmetric Klein-Gordon model with a symmetric double-well potential. We show that in addition to the previously understood longevity of oscillons, there exists a resonant (and critical) behavior which exhibits a time-scaling law. The mode structure of the critical solutions is examined, and we also show that the upper-bound to oscillon formation (in $r_0$ space) is either non-existent or higher than previously believed. Our results are generated using a novel technique for implementing non-reflecting boundary conditions in the finite difference solution of wave equations. The method uses a coordinate transformation which blue-shifts and ``freezes'' outgoing radiation. The frozen radiation is then annihilated via dissipation explicitly added to the finite-difference scheme, with very little reflection into the interior of the computational domain.

Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
Current and future observations can test whether dark compact objects are Kerr black holes or exotic alternatives, with null results strengthening the black hole paradigm.
