Constraining black holes with light boson hair and boson stars using epicyclic frequencies and quasiperiodic oscillations

Light bosonic fields are ubiquitous in extensions of the Standard Model. Even when minimally coupled to gravity, these fields might evade the assumptions of the black-hole no-hair theorems and give rise to spinning black holes which can be drastically different from the Kerr metric. Furthermore, the...
