Neutron stars change their structure with accumulation of dark matter. We study how their mass is influenced from the environment. Close to the sun, the dark matter accretion from the neutron star does not have any effect on it. Moving towards the galactic center, the density increase in dark matter results in increased accretion. At distances of some fraction of a parsec, the neutron star acquire enough dark matter to have its structure changed. We show that the neutron star mass decreases going towards the galactic centre, and that dark matter accumulation beyond a critical value collapses the neutron star into a black hole. Calculations cover cases varying the dark matter particle mass, self-interaction strength, and ratio between the pressure of dark matter and ordinary matter. This allow us to constrain the interaction cross section, $\sigma_{\rm dm}$, between nucleons and dark matter particles, as well as the dark matter self-interaction cross section.

  1. First Constraints on the Ellipticities of Self-Interacting Fermionic Dark Matter Admixed Neutron Stars from Continuous Gravitational-Wave Searches

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Using LIGO O3 continuous-wave search data, the authors place the first constraints on ellipticities of self-interacting fermionic dark matter admixed neutron stars and exclude regions of the DM parameter space for mas...

  2. Strongly Interacting Dark Matter admixed Neutron Stars

    hep-ph 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Strongly interacting dark matter described by a first-principles G2 gauge-theory equation of state can be mixed into neutron stars while remaining compatible with current observational constraints.

  3. A self-consistent Higgs-portal framework for dark matter--admixed neutron stars: Collider-motivated benchmarks meet multimessenger constraints

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Adding heavy dark matter to neutron stars via nχ=FχnB softens the equation of state and lowers the maximum mass, but the vector interaction invoked is numerically negligible.

  4. Dark Matter Heating in Evolving Proto-Neutron Stars: A Two-Fluid Approach

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dark matter cores heat baryonic matter in evolving proto-neutron stars by deepening the gravitational potential while halos cool it, providing a diagnostic distinct from hyperons.

  5. Effects of dark matter and magnetic field on neutron star properties in relativistic mean-field theory: A single-fluid approach

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Fermionic dark matter and strong central magnetic fields both reduce neutron-star maximum mass and radius and lower tidal deformability in single-fluid RMF models, remaining compatible with GW/NICER constraints over t...
