Red-giant luminosity observations at the tip of the branch are used to set upper limits on dark-matter masses near 10^11 GeV and spin-independent cross sections near 10^{-37} cm² by requiring that DM-induced core heating does not cause premature helium ignition.

Bose-Einstein condensate formation in neutron stars enhances dark matter annihilation by 10^15-10^20, allowing freeze-in models to produce observable heating and probe neutrino-fog scattering cross-sections.
Observation of neutron stars at 1000-1200 K could constrain asymmetric dark matter self-interaction cross-sections by two orders of magnitude beyond bullet cluster limits.
Muonphilic portals to fermionic asymmetric dark matter are constrained by existing data and can be probed further by 3 and 10 TeV muon colliders.
