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*.
GRRT simulations show that raising the dilaton parameter shrinks the bright ring while increasing its width and brightness, disk thickness reduces diameter and width with weaker brightness impact, and both affect allowed ranges versus EHT Sgr A* data and the polarization coefficient beta2.
