How to tell an accreting boson star from a black hole

no code implementations23 Sep 2018 Hector Olivares, Ziri Younsi, Christian M. Fromm, Mariafelicia De Laurentis, Oliver Porth, Yosuke Mizuno, Heino Falcke, Michael Kramer, Luciano Rezzolla

We find that the absence of an event horizon in a boson star leads to important differences in the dynamics of the accretion and results in both the formation of a small torus in the interior of the boson star and in the absence of an evacuated high-magnetization funnel in the polar regions.
