Compact boson stars exhibit broader gravitational lensing rings than black holes, resulting in images and visibilities that depend more strongly on the structure of the accretion flow.

Numerical construction of Hayward boson stars shows that frozen states produce Schwarzschild-like shadows with no extra photon rings while non-frozen states show multiple photon rings inside the shadow.
Numerical backward ray-tracing shows that the inner shadow size shrinks with the Gauss-Bonnet coupling while polarization direction near the shadow and photon ring shifts noticeably, and combining both observables yields stronger constraints than either alone.
