Boson stars and black holes with complex and real scalar hair
We discuss boson stars and black holes with scalar hair in a model where the complex scalar field forming the boson star and the hair on the black hole, respectively, interacts with a real scalar field via a Hénon-Heiles-type potential. We demonstrate that black holes and boson stars carrying only a real scalar field with cubic self-interaction are possible and that black holes with both real and complex scalar field branch off from these solutions for sufficiently large interaction between the two fields and/or sufficiently large horizon radius <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:msub><a:mi>r</a:mi><a:mi>h</a:mi></a:msub></a:math>. The latter possess lower mass for the same choice of coupling constants than the former, however seem to be thermodynamically preferred only for high enough temperature.
