abstract
Light bosonic (axion-like) dark matter may form Bose stars - clumps of nonrelativistic Bose-Einstein condensate supported by self-gravity. We study rotating Bose stars composed of condensed particles with nonzero angular momentum $l$. We analytically prove that these objects are unstable at arbitrary $l \ne 0$ if particle self-interactions are attractive or negligibly small. They decay by shedding off the particles and transporting the angular momentum to the periphery of the system until a Saturn-like configuration appears: one (or several) spin-zero Bose stars and clouds of diffuse particles orbit around the mutual center. In the case of no self-interactions we calculate the profiles and dominant instability modes of the rotating stars: numerically at $1 \leq l\leq 15$ and analytically at $l\gg 1$. Notably, their lifetimes are always comparable to the inverse binding energies; hence, these objects cannot be considered long-living. Finally, we numerically show that in models with sufficiently strong repulsive self-interactions the Bose star with $l=1$ is stable.

Rotating Fermion-Boson Stars in $R$-squared Gravity
R-squared gravity enlarges the equilibrium domain of rotating fermion-boson stars and raises static and Keplerian maximum masses relative to GR while remaining compatible with current compact-object constraints.

String Axiverse Enhancement of Superradiant Dark Matter Production
O(100-10^5) string axions enhance PBH superradiance efficiency via increased spin, expanding viable mass-spin regions for micro-boson star dark matter while too many axions cause overly rapid evaporation.

Vortices and rotating solitons in ultralight dark matter
Rotating solitons in self-interacting ultralight dark matter form through a uniform vortex lattice, with a maximum radius about 1.59 times and a maximum rotation rate about 1.34 times the square root of the central density.
