Heavy dark matter in rapidly evolving massive stars
Sandra Robles, Walter Tangarife, Giorgio Busoni
We study the impact of heavy dark matter (DM) captured in massive stars via scattering(s) with the star constituents. We focus on the first stars and use stellar evolution simulati…

From Capture to Collapse: Revisiting Black Hole formation by Fermionic Asymmetric Dark Matter in Neutron Stars
Sandra Robles, Drona Vatsyayan, Giorgio Busoni
Fermionic asymmetric dark matter (ADM) can be captured in neutron stars (NSs) via scatterings with the star constituents. The absence of dark matter annihilation due to its asymmet…

Using neutron stars to probe dark matter charged under a symmetry
Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni, Avirup Ghosh
Kinetic heating of old cold neutron stars, via the scattering of dark matter with matter in the star, provides a promising way to probe the nature of dark matter interactions. We c…
