The three phases of self-gravitating scalar field ground states
Anthony E. Mirasola, Nathan Musoke, Mark C. Neyrinck +2
It is generally assumed that scalar field dark matter halos would contain solitonic cores -- spherically symmetric ground state configurations -- at their centers. This is especial…

Probing fermionic asymmetric dark matter cores using global neutron star properties
Nathan Rutherford, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Anna Watts
It is possible for asymmetric dark matter (ADM) to accumulate in neutron star interiors and affect their global properties. Considering the effects of this accumulation, neutron st…
