Mathematical Modeling of Boson-Fermion Stars in the Generalized Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity

Abstract

A model of static boson-fermion star with spherical symmetry based on the scalar-tensor theory of gravity with massive dilaton field is investigated numerically. Since the radius of star is \textit{a priori} an unknown quantity, the corresponding boundary value problem (BVP) is treated as a nonlinear spectral problem with a free internal boundary. The Continuous Analogue of Newton Method (CANM) for solving this problem is applied. Information about basic geometric functions and the functions describing the matter fields, which build the star is obtained. In a physical point of view the main result is that the structure and properties of the star in presence of massive dilaton field depend essentially both of its fermionic and bosonic components.Comment: 16 pages, amstex, 5 figures, changed conten
