Description

Long-lived configurations of massive scalar fields around black holes may form if the coupling between the mass of the scalar field and the mass of the black hole is very small. In this work, we analyse the effect of self-interaction in the distribution of the long-lived cloud surrounding a stationary black hole. We consider both attractive and repulsive self-interactions.
