Bayesian exploration of weakly interacting models of dark matter admixed neutron stars based on multi-density constraints

Payaswinee Arvikar, Prashant Thakur, Sarmistha Banik

We present a unified Bayesian analysis of Higgs-portal, neutron-decay, and axion-like-particle (ALP)-mediated dark matter in neutron stars within the single-fluid approximation. Us…

Fast Bayesian Updating of the Neutron-Star Equation of State with Neural Posterior and Evidence Estimation

Prashant Thakur

We present two complementary neural routes for microscopic neutron-star EOS inference: truncated sequential neural posterior estimation with mixture importance sampling (TSNPE+MIS)…

Dark matter in neutron stars: two-fluid -mode oscillations in full general relativity

Prashant Thakur, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Y. Lim

A dark-matter core and a soft nuclear equation of state can produce similar mass--radius signatures, motivating a complementary probe through the -mode spectrum. We compute quad…

Reaction-constrained composition \(g\)-modes in neutron stars with antikaon condensates, hyperons, and \(Δ(1232)\) resonances

Prashant Thakur, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather

We study core composition \(g_1\) modes of cold, nonrotating neutron stars containing antikaon condensates, hyperons, and \(Δ(1232)\) baryons and present, to our knowledge, the fir…

Amortized Simulation-Based Inference of Relativistic Mean-Field Couplings for Neutron-Star Equations of State

Prashant Thakur, Tuhin Malik

We present a simulation-based inference framework for constraining microscopic relativistic mean-field parameters of neutron-star equations of state. Neural posterior estimation is…

Rotational enhancement and stability of protoquark stars during thermal evolution

Adamu Issifu, Andreas Konstantinou, Prashant Thakur +1

We present the first systematic study of rigidly rotating protoquark stars based on isentropic equations of state (EOS) within the density-dependent quark mass (DDQM) framework. Us…

Dark Matter Heating in Evolving Proto-Neutron Stars: A Two-Fluid Approach

Adamu Issifu, Prashant Thakur, Davood Rafiei Karkevandi +4

Neutron stars (NSs) provide a unique laboratory to probe dark matter (DM) through its gravitational imprint on stellar evolution. We use a two-fluid framework with non-annihilating…
