On the Formation of Degenerate Heavy Neutrino Stars
Abstract
The dynamics of a self-gravitating cold Fermi gas is described using the analogy with an interacting self-gravitating Bose condensate having the same Thomas-Fermi limit. The dissipationless formation of a heavy neutrino star through gravitational collapse and ejection of matter is demonstrated numerically. Such neutrino stars offer an alternative to black holes for the supermassive compact dark objects at the centers of galaxies.
