Tidal Love numbers of Axion stars

We investigate the tidal deformability of spherically symmetric axion stars on the stable branches, including the Newtonian and relativistic branches. The results suggest that on the stable branch, the electric Love numbers of axion star are positive, while the magnetic Love numbers are negative. On...

Description
Summary:We investigate the tidal deformability of spherically symmetric axion stars on the stable branches, including the Newtonian and relativistic branches. The results suggest that on the stable branch, the electric Love numbers of axion star are positive, while the magnetic Love numbers are negative. On the Newtonian stable branch, the electric tidal Love numbers are much larger than the magnetic ones, while on the relativistic stable branch, they are slightly larger. Furthermore, the relativistic stable branch has much smaller tidal Love numbers than the Newtonian stable branch, indicating weaker deformability of axion stars on the relativistic stable branch. This could be attributed to the fact that on the relativistic branch, axion stars are more compact, resulting hardly distorted by tidal forces.
