Blocking the Hawking Radiation
Martin Autzen, Chris Kouvaris
Some severe constraints on asymmetric dark matter are based on the scenario that certain types of WIMPs can form mini-black holes inside neutron stars that can lead to their destru…
Can Dark Matter explain the Braking Index of Neutron Stars?
Chris Kouvaris, M. Angeles Perez-Garcia
We explore a new mechanism of slowing down the rotation of neutron stars via accretion of millicharged dark matter. We find that this mechanism yields pulsar braking indices that c…
Growth of Black Holes in the interior of Rotating Neutron Stars
Chris Kouvaris, Peter Tinyakov
Mini-black holes made of dark matter that can potentially form in the interior of neutron stars have been always thought to grow by accreting the matter of the core of the star via…
Zero Sound in Neutron Stars with Dense Quark Matter under Strong Magnetic Fields
Chris Kouvaris
We study a neutron star with a quark matter core under extremely strong magnetic fields. We investigate the possibility of an Urca process as a mechanism for the cooling of such a…
