Modified Schrodinger-Poisson equation: Quantum polytropes

Abstract: Axions and axion-like particles are a leading model for the dark matter in the Universe; therefore, dark matter halos may be boson stars in the process of collapsing. We examine a class of static boson stars with a non-minimal coupling to gravity. We modify the gravitational density of the boson field to be proportional to an arbitrary power of the modulus of the field, introducing a nonstandard coupling. We find a class of solutions very similar to Newtonian polytropic stars that we denote "quantum polytropes… Show more
