On-line bibliography about Boson Stars (BS) (Compiled by Bruno Mundim, May 2005)

The fastest way of diving on BS studies is carefully reproduce the main calculations explicitly done by Kevin (Chi-Wai) Lai in his Phd thesis:

C.W. Lai, "A Numerical Study of Boson Stars", Phd thesis, UBC (2004) gr-qc/0410040

If you are wondering about the existence of BS, there is a good review addressing the issues of existence, BS classification and its possible signatures for detection:

Schunck, FE, Mielke, EW, "General relativistic boson stars" CLASSICAL QUANT GRAV 20 (20): R301-R356 OCT 21 2003

A little bit more of motivation...

Schunck, FE, Mielke, EW, "Boson stars: Rotation, formation, and evolution" GEN RELAT GRAVIT 31 (5): 787-798 MAY 1999

and finally the classical review of on gravitational equilibrium configurations of scalar fields-boson stars-in the framework of a Newtonian and of a general relativistic treatment. A must-read!

JETZER, P , "BOSON STARS" PHYS REP 220 (4): 163-227 NOV 1992

On the moment we are investigating the maximal critical mass for an Einstein-Klein-Gordon-like system with self-interaction potencial. Below it is listed some papers considering several different self-interaction potentials:

On-line bibliography about Conformally Flat simulations (Compiled by Bruno Mundim, September 2005)

The most recent that I found was the following paper:

Saijo M "The collapse of differentially rotating supermassive stars: Conformally flat simulations" Phys. Rev. 172, 1331-1342 (1968)
