Masquerading hybrid stars with dark matter
Dark matter compression can trigger quark cores in unusually light neutron stars while leaving the mass-radius relation unchanged, producing 'masquerading hybrid stars' and, for light strongly interacting dark matter, 'dark oysters' with huge dark matter halos.
