On asymmetric dark matter constraints from the asteroseismology of a subgiant star

João Rato, José Lopes, Ilídio Lopes

The asteroseismic modelling of solar-like stars has proved to be valuable in constraining dark matter. In this work we study for the first time the influence of asymmetric dark mat…

Dark matter capture and annihilation in stars: Impact on the red giant branch tip

José Lopes, Ilídio Lopes

Context: While stars have often been used as laboratories to study dark matter (DM), red giant branch (RGB) stars and all the rich phenomenology they encompass have frequently been…

Towards a more rigorous treatment of uncertainties on the velocity distribution of dark matter particles for capture in stars

José Lopes, Thomas Lacroix, Ilídio Lopes

Dark matter (DM) capture in stars offers a rich phenomenology that makes it possible to probe a wide variety of particle DM scenarios in diverse astrophysical environments. In spit…

Asymmetric Dark Matter Imprint on Low-mass Main-sequence Stars in the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster

José Lopes, Ilídio Lopes

In this work, we study the impact of asymmetric dark matter (ADM) on low-mass main-sequence stars in the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster, where the dark matter (DM) density is exp…

New Limits on Thermally annihilating Dark Matter from Neutrino Telescopes

José Lopes, Ilídio Lopes

We used a consistent and robust solar model to obtain upper limits placed by neutrino telescopes, such as Ice- Cube and Super-Kamiokande, on the Dark Matter-nucleon scattering cros…
