Self-interacting multistate boson stars

Abstract

In this paper, we consider rotating multistate boson stars with quartic self-interactions. In contrast to the nodeless quartic-boson stars in [1], the self-interacting multistate boson stars (SIMBSs) have two types of nodes, including the ¹S²S and ¹S²P states. We show the mass M of SIMBSs as a function of the synchronized frequency ω, and the nonsynchronized frequency ω₂ for three different cases. Moreover, for the case of two coexisting states with self-interacting potential, we study the mass M of SIMBSs versus the angular momentum J for the synchronized frequency ω and the nonsynchronized frequency ω₂. Furthermore, for three different cases, we analyze the coexisting phase with both the ground and first excited states for SIMBSs. We also calculate the maximum value of coupling parameter Λ, and find the coupling parameter Λ exists the finite range.
