OVERVIEW OF EVOLUTION OF BINARY COMPACT OBJECTS: FROM BOSON STARS TO
BLACK HOLES

Resumen: I will summarize some of the recent
simulations in Numerical Relativity
on the study of binary compact objects. I will start from the dynamics
of boson stars, which have been proposed as models of the dark matter
in galaxies, until the description of very compact astrophysical
objects like neutron stars and black holes. In these last cases, there
will be some discussion about the differences introduced by the
presence of magnetic fields.
