Scalar field black holes [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.04423


With a suitable decomposition of its energy-momentum tensor into pressureless matter and a vacuum type term, we investigate the spherical gravitational collapse of a minimally coupled, self-interacting scalar field, showing that it collapses to a singularity. The formed blackhole has a mass $M \sim 1/m$ (in Planck units), where $m$ is the mass of the scalar field. If the latter has the axion mass, $m \sim 10^{-5}$ eV, the former has a mass $M \sim 10^{-5} M_{\odot}$.
