Fitting GRAVITY flare astrometry to solitonic boson star models requires masses larger than 4.3 million solar masses, with more diffuse models yielding values closer to the standard black hole mass and thus placing stringent but incomplete constraints on such interpretations of Sgr A*.

Numerical simulations of black hole-boson star binaries show that scalar self-interactions can suppress tidal disruption while radiative efficiency depends on the chosen potential.
Bayesian analysis shows current near-IR astrometry data cannot distinguish massive boson stars from Schwarzschild black holes for Sgr A*.
Simulations show current GRAVITY data cannot distinguish exotic compact object models from black holes for Sgr A* flares, but GRAVITY+ sensitivity may allow detection of some models unless the hot spot is modeled with greater astrophysical complexity.
