The Dynamics of the Formation of Degenerate Heavy Neutrino Stars

arXiv:astro-ph/0008230

Abstract

Through reformulating the cold, self-gravitating fermion gas as a Bose condensate by identifying their mutual Thomas-Fermi limits, the dissipationless formation of a heavy neutrino star in gravitational collapse is numerically demonstrated. Such stars offer an alternative to supermassive black holes for the compact dark objects at the centers of galaxies.
