This is the fourth of a mini-course (four lectures) on black hole thermodynamics. The lectures will be on January 16, 24, 31 and February 6.

In this talk I will firstly give a brief introduction on what bosonic stars are and why should we be interested in studying them. Then, I will present a study of the non-linear dynamics of both boson(scalar) and Proca(vector) stars, through numerical relativity techniques. I will depict three different physical scenarios.

Penrose process remains a textbook example of a mechanism for energy extraction from black holes, yet there are many impediments to its practical viability. The longest known problem is that it requires a particle to split into two fragments with very high relative velocity.
