Accretion disk onto boson stars: a way to supplant black holes candidates
read the original abstract
The emission spectrum from a simple accretion disk model around a compact object is compared for the cases of a black hole (BH) and a boson star (BS) playing the role of the central object. It was found in the past that such a spectrum presents a hardening at high frequencies; however, here it is shown that the self-interaction and compactness of the BS have the effect of softening the spectrum, the less compact the star is, the softer the emission spectrum at high frequencies. Because the mass of the boson fixes the mass of the star and the self-interaction the compactness of the star, we find that, for certain values of the BS parameters, it is possible to produce similar spectra to those generated when the central object is a BH. This result presents two important implications: (i) using this simple accretion model, a BS can supplant a BH in the role of compact object accreting matter, and (ii) within the assumptions of the present accretion disk model we do not find a prediction that could help distinguish a BH from a BS with appropriate parameters of mass and self-interaction.

Broadened Lensing Rings of Compact Boson Stars: Enhanced Imprint of Accretion Flow in Images and Visibilities
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.

Testing solitonic boson star interpretations of Sagittarius A* with near-infrared flare astrometry
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 st...
