Non-linear dynamics of spinning bosonic stars: formation and stability
read the original abstract
We perform numerical evolutions of the fully non-linear Einstein-(complex, massive)Klein-Gordon and Einstein-(complex)Proca systems, to assess the formation and stability of spinning bosonic stars. In the scalar/vector case these are known as boson/Proca stars. Firstly, we consider the formation scenario. Starting with constraint-obeying initial data, describing a dilute, axisymmetric cloud of spinning scalar/Proca field, gravitational collapse towards a spinning star occurs, via gravitational cooling. In the scalar case the formation is transient, even for a non-perturbed initial cloud; a non-axisymmetric instability always develops ejecting all the angular momentum from the scalar star. In the Proca case, by contrast, no instability is observed and the evolutions are compatible with the formation of a spinning Proca star. Secondly, we address the stability of an existing star, a stationary solution of the field equations. In the scalar case, a non-axisymmetric perturbation develops collapsing the star to a spinning black hole. No such instability is found in the Proca case, where the star survives large amplitude perturbations; moreover, some excited Proca stars decay to, and remain as, fundamental states. Our analysis suggests bosonic stars have different stability properties in the scalar/vector case, which we tentatively relate to their toroidal/spheroidal morphology. A parallelism with instabilities of spinning fluid stars is briefly discussed.

Splitting the Gravitational Atom: Instabilities of Black Holes with Synchronized or Resonant Hair
Black holes with synchronized or resonant scalar hair exhibit dynamical splitting in which the horizon is ejected from the bosonic cloud center in the very hairy regime.

Timing-Window Mechanism for Chain-Like Transients in Collisions of Radially Excited Boson Stars
Chain-like transients in boson star collisions are governed by a timing window set by the binary collision time relative to isolated breathing clocks rather than excitation level alone.

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.

Timing-Window Mechanism for Chain-Like Transients in Collisions of Radially Excited Boson Stars
Chain-like transients in boson star collisions are controlled by a timing window set by matching binary collision time to the isolated breathing clock rather than excitation level alone.

Massive boson stars: Stability and GW emission in head-on mergers
Numerical evolutions of quartically self-interacting boson stars reveal three merger outcomes and a non-monotonic gravitational-wave energy pattern driven by the competition between compactness and tidal deformability.
