Charged Proca stars

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, we study gauged solutions associated with a massive vector field representing a spin-1 condensate, namely, the Proca field. We focus on regular spherically symmetric solutions which we construct either using a self-interaction potential or general relativity in order to glue the solutions together. We start generating nongravitating solutions---so-called Proca $Q$-balls and charged Proca $Q$-balls. Then we turn on backreaction on the metric, allowing gravity to hold together the Proca condensate, to study the so-called Proca stars, charged Proca stars, Proca $Q$-stars, and charged Proca $Q$-stars.
