Numerical Evolu.on of Soliton Stars Dr. Jayashree Balakrishna (HSSU Saint Louis, Missouri) Collaborators: M. Bondarescu (Ole Miss. ), R. Bondarescu (Penn. State), G. Daues (N.C.S.A), F.S.

In spherical Symmetry. In Full 3D GR‐ gravita.onal radia.on. Dark MaPer Dark maPer: maPer whose presence is inferred by its gravita.onal effects even though it cannot actually be seen. Dark MaPer: Galac.c Rota.on Curves Direct Proof of Dark MaPer Hubble Expansion: Relevance of scalar fields in cosmology • Redshi[ in light (distant galaxies) propor.onal to distance. • Expansion of the universe: co‐moving distance between points (difference in their coordinates) remains constant but physical distance between • points increases. Dark MaPer and Dark Energy • Hubble Telescope observa.ons 1998 of distant supernovae showed that the expansion of the universe was accelera.ng rather than slowing down. • Postulated dark energy (non zero cosmological constant working like a repulsive force). • Present es.mates are about 70% of the energy density is provided by this dark energy. Only about 5% of the density is luminous maPer leaving about 25% being dark maPer. Nature of Dark MaPer • Primordial Nucleosynthesis: Current es.mates of light element abundances fit predic.ons of BBN to a high degree. This is an es.mate of baryon (protons+neutrons) abundances. • These es.mates show that dark maPer is essen.ally non‐baryonic. Axions as Dark MaPer Why they are preferred? i) They are non‐baryonic ii) They are predicted by par.cle physics as a solu.on to the lack of CP viola.on in strong interac.ons. iii) They are light and behave as cold‐dark maPer and can explain galaxy forma.on and large scale structure. Axion Mass Range −6 • Lower bound 10 eV / c ≈ to keep the density cri.cal density −3 • Upper bound 10 eV / c € to prevent excessive energy loss in stars and € supernovae. 2 M Pl € The mass of a compact star ~ where m is m the mass of the par.cle it is made of € Detec.on? 10 −22 eV • Extremely light scalar par.cles ( ) could in principle form dark maPer halos. • Heavier par.cles can form compact objects. € • Can there be stars made of scalar par.cles that have signatures that could be detected? Gravita.onal Radia.on What is an axion‐star? • Axions are scalar par.cles that can be described by real fields. These par.cles could clump together by a Jeans instability mechanism to form stars called soliton stars. • There are also scalar par.cles that can be described by complex scalar fields (also possible dark maPer candidates) that could form stars by the same mechanism. Such hypothe.cal stars are called boson‐ stars. • These stars held together by a balance between the aPrac.ve force of gravity and the dissipa.ve nature of the uncertainity principle (field).

Zerilli Func.on Stable Star Energy Output Conclusion • We have seen that, in principle, scalar par.cles can form stable stars. • They have ground states and excited states. The excited states although inherently unstable can cascade to a stable ground state configura.on losing mass via emission of scalar radia.on. • Excited states can be intermediate states during the forma.on of these stars. • They have gravita.onal wave signatures that damp on a short .me scale.
