Axion star collisions with black holes and neutron stars in full 3D numerical relativity
Axions are a potential dark matter candidate, which may condense and form self-gravitating compact objects, called axion stars (ASs). In this work, we study for the first time head-on collisions of relativistic ASs with black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). In the case of BH-AS mergers we find...
