The generalization consists in incorporating some of the effects of angular momentum, while still maintaining the spacetime\u2019s spherical symmetry. These new solutions depend on an (integer) angular parameter <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>, and hence were named <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>-boson stars. Like the standard <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic> = 0 boson stars these configurations admit a stable branch in the solution space; however, contrary to them they have a morphology that presents a shell-like structure with a \u2018hole\u2019 in the internal region. In this article we perform a thorough exploration of the parameter space, concentrating particularly on the extreme cases with large values of <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>. We show that the shells grow in size with the angular parameter, doing so linearly for large values, with the size growing faster than the thickness. Their mass also increases with <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>, but in such a way that their compactness, while also growing monotonically, converges to a finite value corresponding to about one half of the Buchdahl limit for stable configurations. Furthermore, we show that <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>-boson stars can be highly anisotropic, with the radial pressure diminishing relative to the tangential pressure for large <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic>, reducing asymptotically to zero, and with the maximum density also approaching zero. We show that these properties can be understood by analyzing the asymptotic limit <jats:italic>\u2113<\/jats:italic> \u2192 \u221e of the field equations and their solutions. We also analyze the existence and characteristics of both timelike and null circular orbits, especially for very compact solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6382\/ac5fc2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,22]],"date-time":"2022-03-22T18:15:21Z","timestamp":1647972921000},"page":"094001","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Extreme <i>\u2113<\/i>-boson stars"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3367-9868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Alcubierre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9511-6772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Barranco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3133-5957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Argelia","family":"Bernal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8603-5209","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Degollado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Diez-Tejedor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3235-4562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edctor","family":"Jaramillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0224-9611","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Miguel","family":"Megevand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0295-0053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dar\u00edo","family":"N\u00fa\u00f1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0753-4449","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Olivier","family":"Sarbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"cqgac5fc2bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1016\/0370-2693(83)90637-8","type":"journal-article","volume":"120","author":"Preskill","year":"1983","journal-title":"Phys.
