Axion halo around a binary system of dwarf stars

Abstract

The gravitational field of a clump of ultralight axion like particles (ALPs) in its core with a rotating binary system of dwarf stars is computed. It is established that the induced quadrupole mass moment of the clump is controlled parametrically by the $M_a/M$ mass ratio of the axion clump and the the binary core.
