Abstract: We construct and explore the complex structures of boson stars, drawing inspiration from similar configurations of non-topological solitons in Minkowski space. These “molecular states” of boson stars have a multipolar structure and both positive and negative Noether charges within one star, and the opposite charges swap with time. Thanks to the gravitational attraction, they exist even in the case of a free scalar field. We also explore the effects of scalar self-interactions on these complex structures. We propose to use galactic-scale charge-swapping boson stars as a potential solution to the problem of the observed anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies.

Introduction
In this article, we will explore the complex structures of boson stars, which are inspired by similar configurations of non-topological solitons in Minkowski space. We will also discuss the presence of both positive and negative Noether charges within one star and how these charges swap with time.
Understanding Boson Stars
We will delve into the concept of boson stars and their unique properties. Boson stars are “molecular states” with a multipolar structure where opposite charges swap within the star. These structures exist even in the presence of a free scalar field, thanks to gravitational attraction.
Impact of Scalar Self-Interactions
We will explore the effects of scalar self-interactions on these complex structures of boson stars. Scalar self-interactions can potentially modify the behavior and stability of these stars.
Potential Solution to Anisotropic Distribution of Satellite Galaxies
A major focus of this article will be on the potential use of galactic-scale charge-swapping boson stars as a solution to the observed anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies. We will examine how these boson stars can explain the phenomenon and discuss the potential implications for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
Challenges and Opportunities
While the concept of boson stars and their potential application to the problem of anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies is intriguing, there are several challenges and opportunities that we need to consider:
- Understanding the Complex Structures: We need to further investigate and understand the complex structures of boson stars, including their formation and stability.
- Validation and Observational Evidence: It is important to gather observational evidence to support the existence of these charge-swapping boson stars and their potential impact on the distribution of satellite galaxies.
- Fine-tuning of Parameters: The behavior and stability of boson stars may depend on various parameters, including scalar self-interactions. Fine-tuning these parameters and understanding their implications will be crucial.
- Further Research: This article highlights the potential of charge-swapping boson stars, but further research is needed to fully explore their properties and potential applications.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the exploration of boson stars and their complex structures provides intriguing possibilities for understanding the anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies. By delving into the behavior of these stars and investigating the impact of scalar self-interactions, we can potentially find a solution to this astronomical puzzle. However, further research and observational evidence are required to fully validate this hypothesis.
