Abstract
We investigate the possible gravitational redshift values for boson stars with a self-interaction, studying a wide range of possible masses. We find a limiting value of zlim ≅ 0.687 for stable boson star configurations. We compare theoretical expectation with the observational capabilities in several different wavebands, concluding that direct observation of boson stars by this means will be extremely challenging. X-ray spectroscopy is perhaps the most interesting possibility.
