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 …

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 …

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 …

While astrophysical and cosmological probes provide a remarkably precise and consistent
picture of the quantity and general properties of dark matter, its fundamental nature remains …

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 …

Neutron stars close to the Galactic center are expected to swim in a dense background of
dark matter. For models in which the dark matter has efficient interactions with neutrons, they …

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

Dark matter (DM) can be captured in celestial bodies after scattering and losing sufficient
energy to become gravitationally bound. We derive a general framework that describes the …

The dense environment of neutron stars makes them an excellent target for probing dark
matter interactions with the Standard Model. We study neutron star heating from capture of …

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 …
