Stirred and shaken: Dynamical behavior of boson stars and dark matter cores

Bosonic fields can give rise to self-gravitating structures. These are interesting hypothetical new “dark matter stars” and good descriptions of dark matter haloes if the fields are very light. We study the dynamical response of Newtonian boson stars (NBS) when excited by external matter (stars, pla...
