The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal as a model for
particles. In the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth
configurations of electromagnetic energy that he called geons, but none were
found. Instead, particle-like solutions were found in the late 1960s with the
addition of a scalar field, and these were given the name boson stars. Since
then, boson stars find use in a wide variety of models as sources of dark matter,
as black hole mimickers, in simple models of binary systems, and as a tool in
finding black holes in higher dimensions with only a single Killing vector. We
discuss important varieties of boson stars, their dynamic properties, and some of
their uses, concentrating on recent efforts.
