N2 - We study Bose-Einstein condensation and the formation of Bose stars in virialized dark matter halos and miniclusters by universal gravitational interactions. We prove that this phenomenon does occur and it is described by a kinetic equation. We give an expression for the condensation time. Our results suggest that Bose stars may form kinetically in mainstream dark matter models such as invisible QCD axions and fuzzy dark matter.
