===Boson star=== A [[boson star]] is a hypothetical [[astronomical object]] that is formed out of particles called [[boson]]s (conventional [[star]]s are formed out of [[fermion]]s). For this type of star to exist, there must be a stable type of boson with repulsive self-interaction. As of 2016 there is no significant evidence that such a star exists. However, it may become possible to detect them by the gravitational radiation emitted by a pair of co-orbiting boson stars.<ref>{{cite book | first=Bernard F. | last=Schutz | title=Gravity from the ground up | url=https://archive.org/details/gravityfromgroun00schu_469 | url-access=limited | edition=3rd | publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] | date=2003 | isbn=0-521-45506-5 | page=[https://archive.org/details/gravityfromgroun00schu_469/page/n170 143] }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | author=Palenzuela, C. | author2=Lehner, L. | author3=Liebling, S.
