abstract

We show that complex, massive spin-1 fields minimally coupled to Einstein's gravity with a negative cosmological constant, admit asymptotically anti-de Sitter self-gravitating solutions. Focusing on 4-dimensional spacetimes, we start by obtaining analytical solutions in the test-field limit, where the Proca field equations can be solved in a fixed anti-de Sitter background, and then find fully non-linear solutions numerically. These solutions are a natural extension of the recently found asymptotically flat Proca stars and share similar properties with scalar boson stars. In particular, we show that they are stable against spherically symmetric linear perturbations for a range of fundamental frequencies limited by their point of maximum mass. We finish with an overview of the behavior of Proca stars in $5$ dimensions.

Light Rings, Accretion Disks and Shadows of Hayward Boson Stars

gr-qc · 2025-07-13 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.

Dynamical Boson Stars

gr-qc · 2012-02-27 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
