Dark matter in compact stars

J Bramante, N Raj - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
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 …

Asymmetric dark matter: theories, signatures, and constraints

KM Zurek - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
We review theories of Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM), their cosmological implications and
detection. While there are many models of ADM in the literature, our review of existing …

A horizon study for cosmic explorer: science, observatories, and community

M Evans, RX Adhikari, C Afle, SW Ballmer… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave
observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic …

Bosonic dark matter in neutron stars and its effect on gravitational wave signal

D Rafiei Karkevandi, S Shakeri, V Sagun, O Ivanytskyi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study an impact of self-interacting bosonic dark matter (DM) on various observable
properties of neutron stars (NSs). The analysis is performed for asymmetric DM with masses …

Dynamical boson stars

SL Liebling, C Palenzuela - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal as a model for particles. In
the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth configurations of …

Faint light of old neutron stars and detectability at the James Webb Space Telescope

S Chatterjee, R Garani, RK Jain, B Kanodia… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Isolated ideal neutron stars (NS) of age> 10 9 yr exhaust thermal and rotational energies
and cool down to temperatures below O (100) K. Accretion of particle dark matter (DM) by …

Comprehensive study of compact stars with dark matter

MF Barbat, J Schaffner-Bielich, L Tolos - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We present a comprehensive study of compact stars admixed with nonself-annihilating self-
interacting fermionic dark matter, delineating the dependence on the nuclear equation of …

Tidal deformability of fermion-boson stars: Neutron stars admixed with ultralight dark matter

RF Diedrichs, N Becker, C Jockel, JE Christian… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we investigate the tidal deformability of a neutron star admixed with dark matter,
modeled as a massive, self-interacting, complex scalar field. We derive the equations to …

Exoplanets as sub-GeV dark matter detectors

RK Leane, J Smirnov - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We present exoplanets as new targets to discover dark matter (DM). Throughout the Milky
Way, DM can scatter, become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and increase the heat …

Dark kinetic heating of neutron stars and an infrared window on WIMPs, SIMPs, and pure Higgsinos

M Baryakhtar, J Bramante, SW Li, T Linden, N Raj - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We identify a largely model-independent signature of dark matter (DM) interactions with
nucleons and electrons. DM in the local galactic halo, gravitationally accelerated to over half …
