Abstract The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal ball stop as a model for particles.In the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth configurations of electromagnetic energy that he called geons, but none were found.Instead, particle-like solutions were found in the late 1960s with the addition of a scalar field, and these were given the name boson stars.Since then, boson stars find use in a wide variety of models as sources of dark matter, as black hole Cake Mix mimickers, in simple models of binary systems, and as a tool in finding black holes in higher dimensions with only a single Killing vector.We discuss important varieties of boson stars, their dynamic properties, and some of their uses, concentrating on recent efforts.
