Abstract

We have succeeded in obtaining highly relativistic structures of stationary axisymmetric configurations consisting of massive complex scalar fields, i. e. , rotating boson stars. Scalar fields are assumed to have harmonic azimuthal angular dependence, i. e. , =₀ (t, r, ) e^im, where m is an integer. Equilibrium configurations are characterized by values of m so that the total angular momentum of the boson star becomes discrete. We have solved sequences of equilibrium states with m=1 and m=2 by changing one parameter which characterizes the model. The maximum mass for m=1 models is 1. 314M₏₋^2/, where M₏₋ and are the Planck mass and the mass of the scalar field, respectively. It is interesting that properly defined specific angular momentum for rotating boson stars is constant in space.
