The nature and properties of dark matter are arguably among the most important open issues in science. Interesting candidates for darkmatter includes light bosonic fields. Such boson stars are hypothetical good descriptions of dark matter haloes when the fields are ultralight.
In a talk at the group meeting of the Tübingen Theoretical Astrophysics group, led by Prof. Kostas Kokkotas, Lorenzo provided a complete picture of the interaction between black holes or stars and the ultralight dark matter environment they live in.
