Formation of Solitonic Stars Through Gravitational Cooling
read the original abstract
We studied the formation of compact bosonic objects through a dissipationless cooling mechanism. Implications of the existence of this mechanism are discussed, including the abundance of bosonic stars in the universe, and the possibility of ruling out the axion as a dark matter candidate.

Self-gravitating quantum stars with a globally relevant Bohm potential
The equilibrium radius of self-gravitating dark fermion stars is determined by the fermion mass once the total mass is given, with the Bohm potential supplying outward pressure for heavier species and inward tension f...

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.

Yukawa-Screened Bose-Star Condensation
Yukawa screening in the YSP system delays Bose-star condensation and broadens the equilibrium density profile, matching a modified kinetic formula after one overall normalization fit.

Massive boson stars: Waveform-based branch diagnosis with neural reconstruction
Using an existing numerical-relativity catalogue, the paper builds a branch-conditioned neural reconstruction model that infers boson-star merger outcomes from waveform morphology by comparing reconstruction quality a...

Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report
Current and future observations can test whether dark compact objects are Kerr black holes or exotic alternatives, with null results strengthening the black hole paradigm.
