Scalar Dark Matter and Cold Stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0505602 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2005.12.004
Abstract
In a medium composed of scalar particles with non-zero mass, the range of Van-der-Waals-type scalar mediated interactions among nucleons becomes infinite when the medium makes a transition to a Bose-Einstein condensed phase. We explore this phenomenon in an astrophysical context. Namely, we study the effect of a scalar dark matter background on the equilibrium of degenerate stars.In particular we focus on white dwarfs and the changes induced in their masses and in their radii.
