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 …

Density functional approach to quark matter with confinement and color superconductivity

O Ivanytskyi, D Blaschke - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We present a novel relativistic density-functional approach to modeling quark matter with a
mechanism to mimic confinement. The quasiparticle treatment of quarks provides their …

Structure formation during phase transitions in strongly interacting matter

DN Voskresensky - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
A broad range of problems associated with phase transitions in systems characterized by
the strong interaction between particles and with formation of structures is reviewed. A …

Bosonic dark matter in light of the NICER precise mass-radius measurements

S Shakeri, DR Karkevandi - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We explore the presence of self-interacting bosonic dark matter (DM) within neutron stars
(NSs) in light of the latest multimessenger observations of the Neutron Star Interior …

Nontrivial features in the speed of sound inside neutron stars

D Mroczek, MC Miller, J Noronha-Hostler, N Yunes - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Measurements of neutron star masses, radii, and tidal deformability have direct connections
to nuclear physics via the equation of state (EoS), which for the cold, catalyzed matter in …

Strange quark matter as dark matter: 40 yr later, a reappraisal

FD Clemente, M Casolino, A Drago… - Monthly Notices of …, 2025 - academic.oup.com
Forty years ago Witten suggested that dark matter could be composed of macroscopic
clusters of strange quark matter. This idea was very popular for several years, but it dropped …

Accelerating Earth-bound dark matter

D McKeen, M Moore, DE Morrissey, M Pospelov… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A fraction of the dark matter may consist of a particle species that interacts much more
strongly with the Standard Model than a typical weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) …

Cosmology and terrestrial signals of sexaquark dark matter

M Moore, TR Slatyer - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate the hypothesis that sexaquarks, hypothetical stable six-quark states, could be
a significant component of the dark matter. We expand on previous studies of sexaquark …

Recovering the conformal limit of color superconducting quark matter within a confining density functional approach

O Ivanytskyi, DB Blaschke - Particles, 2022 - mdpi.com
We generalize a recently proposed confining relativistic density-functional approach to the
case of density-dependent vector and diquark couplings. The particular behavior of these …
