Heating Neutron Stars with Inelastic Dark Matter and Relativistic Targets
Gerardo Alvarez, Aniket Joglekar, Mehrdad Phoroutan-Mehr +1
The dense environment of neutron stars makes them an excellent target for probing dark matter interactions with the Standard Model. We study neutron star heating from capture of in…
