F-mode Oscillations of Neutron Stars with Dark Matter from Neutron Decay: Implications for Gravitational-Wave Detectability

Wasif Husain

In this study, the impact of neutron decay into dark matter and various dark matter self-interaction strengths on neutron star properties have been explored. Using the quark-meson…

Constraining dark boson decay using neutron stars

Wasif Husain, Dipan Sengupta, A W Thomas

Inspired by the well known anomaly in the life time of the neutron, we investigate its consequences inside neutron stars. We first assess the viability of the neutron decay hypothe…

Novel neutron decay mode inside neutron stars

Wasif Husain, Anthony W. Thomas

We explore the suggestion that the neutron lifetime puzzle might be resolved by neutrons decaying into dark matter through the process, n \rightarrow χχχ, with χhaving a mass one t…

Consequences of neutron decay inside neutron stars

Wasif Husain, Theo F. Motta, Anthony W. Thomas

The hypothesis that neutrons might decay into dark matter is explored using neutron stars as a testing ground. It is found that in order to obtain stars with masses at the upper en…

Possible nature of Dark Matter

Wasif Husain, Anthony W. Thomas

{We present a study of neutron star models that contain dark matter (DM) in the core. The DM is assumed to have a particle nature and to be self-interacting. Using constraints on t…

Hybrid Stars with Hyperons and Strange Quark Matter

Wasif Husain, Anthony W. Thomas

We consider the possibility of having hybrid stars with a phase transition from hadrons into strange matter at the core of a neutron star in b equilibrium. For the hadron phase equ…
