Spontaneous scalarization of boson stars

Abstract We study the spontaneous scalarization of spherically symmetric, asymptoically flat boson stars in the (αℛ + γ G $$ \mathcal{G} $$ )ϕ 2 scalar-tensor gravity model. These compact objects are made of a complex valued scalar field that has harmonic time dependence, while their space-time is s...
