A class of compact entities in three component Bose - Einstein   condensates
  We introduce a new class of soliton-like entities in spinor three component BECs. These entities generalize well known solitons. For special values of coupling constants, the system considered is Completely Integrable and supports $N$ soliton solutions. The one-soliton solutions can be generalized to systems with different values of coupling constants. However, they no longer interact elastically. When two so generalized solitons collide, a spin component oscillation is observed in both emerging entities. We propose to call these newly found entities oscillatons. They propagate without dispersion and retain their character after collisions. We derived an exact mathematical model for oscillatons and showed that the well known one soliton solutions are a particular case.
