Induced scalarization in boson stars and scalar gravitational radiation    [PDF]

Milton Ruiz, Juan Carlos Degollado, Miguel Alcubierre, Dario Nunez, Marcelo Salgado
The dynamical evolution of boson stars in scalar-tensor theories of gravity is considered in the physical (Jordan) frame. We focus on the study of spontaneous and induced scalarization, for which we take as initial data configurations on the well-known S-branch of a single boson star in general relativity. We show that during the scalarization process a strong emission of scalar radiation occurs. The new stable configurations (S-branch) of a single boson star within a particular scalar-tensor theory are also presented.
