WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark
matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole …

Probing the existence of hypothetical particles beyond the Standard model often deals with
extreme parameters: large energies, tiny cross-sections, large time scales, etc. Sometimes …

Indirect detection experiments typically measure the flux of annihilating dark matter (DM)
particles propagating freely through galactic halos. We consider a new scenario where …

Exploring dark matter via observations of extreme astrophysical environments--defined here
as heavy compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, as well as …

Neutron stars serve as excellent next-generation thermal detectors of dark matter, heated by
the scattering and annihilation of dark matter accelerated to relativistic speeds in their deep …

White dwarfs, the most abundant stellar remnants, provide a promising means of probing
dark matter interactions, complimentary to terrestrial searches. The scattering of dark matter …

We consider the capture of dark matter (DM) in neutron stars via scattering on hadronic
targets, including neutrons, protons and hyperons. We extend previous analyses by …

The dark matter content of globular clusters, highly compact gravity-bound stellar systems, is
unknown. It is also generally unknowable, due to their mass-to-light ratios typically ranging …

Abstract We show that Milky Way white dwarfs are excellent targets for dark matter (DM)
detection. Using Fermi and HESS Galactic center gamma-ray data, we investigate sensitivity …

What if the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section is too small to be detected by direct
detection experiments? It is well known in the literature that some interactions lead to dark …
