Axisymmetric boson stars in the conformally flat approximation
In this thesis, boson stars are studied under the conformally flat approximation for the metric. Numerical simulations are used to extract solutions. The geometry is solved for using the constraint equations of general relativity and a generalization of the Klein-Gordon equation is used to evolve...
