Dark Matter in Stars
arXiv:2009.00663
Abstract
I review some key aspects of capture and possible observable effects of particle dark matter in stars. Focusing on the transport of heat from captured asymmetric dark matter, I outline existing computational methods, and the challenges that must be overcome to continue pushing the field forward.
