Russia - Belarusian PhD Student Awarded for Studying Bosonic Stars in the Universe

Russia (bbabo.net), - The fact that in the current century the sacred word of Archimedes "Eureka" can belong not only to a respectable academic luminary, but also to a novice university researcher, is confirmed by the award, which for the first time in the history of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna was awarded to a graduate student Belarusian University Ilya Perapechka for the best scientific work of the year.

Together with BSU Professor Yakov Schnir and his reputable German colleague Jutta Kunz, the young scientist was awarded as part of such a solid international collaboration for the study of bosonic stars, BelTA learned from the leadership of the educational institution.

If you try to explain the essence of the discovery that astrophysicists managed to make, then it, they explained to the agency, is that scientific thio has theoretically come close to proving the existence of bosonic stars. To do this, they developed many proposed types of them and found a solution to the equation of the theory of gravity with material fields. In fact, this was the most difficult problem that remained unsolved in science in the study of black holes and bosonic stars.

The university clarified that the main contribution of Ilya Perapechka is "in the development of a software package for the effective solution of such equations."

As for the objects invisible to our eyes, they, according to experts, are considered one of the strangest and most unlike ordinary stars, except for their spherical shape. After all, if typical stars consist of protons, neutrons and electrons, then bosonic stars are formed exclusively from bosons - particles that do not obey the generally accepted laws of physics. They, say, can be superimposed on each other, acting as one large particle, or a wave of matter. By the way, the particles of which they are composed can be compressed in space.

Today, scientists around the world are trying to prove the existence of bosonic stars. The difficulty lies in the fact that theoretically they are invisible in space and do not emit any radiation. At the same time, they are compared with black holes. True, there is a theory according to which bosonic stars could also have formed as a result of gravitational collapse in the initial stages of the development of the Universe after the Big Bang.

Hypothetically, the star under study may be located in the center of the galaxy. And by proving the existence of this theoretical object in the future, scientists will be able to explain many of the observed properties of galaxies, get closer to understanding the appearance of many little-studied astronomical phenomena and dark matter.
