We study exact, analytic, static, spherically symmetric, four-dimensional solutions of minimally coupled Einstein-scalar gravity, sourced by a scalar field whose profile has the form of the sine-Gordon soliton. We present a horizonless, everywhere regular and positive-mass solution (a solitonic star) and a black hole. The scalar potential behaves as a constant near the origin and vanishes at infinity. In particular, the solitonic scalar star interpolates between an anti-de Sitter and an asympototically flat spacetime. The black-hole spacetime is unstable against linear perturbations, while due to numerical issues, we were not able to determine with confidence whether or not the star-like background solution is stable.

  1. Bound orbits near scalar field naked singularities

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In scalar field naked singularities the lapse function has a global minimum, creating a stable static orbit for zero-angular-momentum particles that can mimic a black hole shadow, and nearby bound orbits precess backwards.
