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…

Exploring the distribution and impact of bosonic dark matter in neutron stars

Davood Rafiei Karkevandi, Mahboubeh Shahrbaf, Soroush Shakeri +1

The presence of dark matter (DM) within neutron stars (NSs) can be introduced by different accumulation scenarios in which DM and baryonic matter (BM) may interact only through the…

Observational Probes of the Neutron Star Equation of State with Hyperons, Bosonic Dark Matter, and Quark Matter

Mahboubeh Shahrbaf, Davood Rafiei Karkevandi, Alexander Ayriyan +1

Context. The presence of dark matter in neutron stars is of growing interest due to its potential impact on the structure and observable properties of these objects. Among the vari…

Bosonic Dark Matter in Light of the NICER Precise Mass-Radius Measurements

Soroush Shakeri, Davood Rafiei Karkevandi

We explore the presence of self-interacting bosonic dark matter (DM) within neutron stars (NSs) in light of the latest multi-messenger observations of the Neutron Star Interior Com…

Tidal Deformability as a Probe of Dark Matter in Neutron Stars

Davood Rafiei Karkevandi, Soroush Shakeri, Violetta Sagun +1

The concept of boson stars (BSs) was first introduced by Kaup and Ruffini-Bonazzola in the 1960s. Following this idea, we investigate an effect of self-interacting asymmetric boson…
