We review the~current status of the~study of rotation curve (RC) of the~Milky Way, and~present a~unified RC from the~Galactic Center to the galacto-centric distance of about 100 kpc. The~RC is used to directly calculate the~distribution of the~surface mass density (SMD). We then propose a~method to derive the~distribution of dark matter (DM) density in the~in the~Milky Way using the~SMD distribution. The~best-fit dark halo profile yielded a local DM density of $\rho_\odot = 0.36\pm 0.02$ GeV/cc. We also review the~estimations of the~local DM density in the~last decade, and~show that the~value is converging to a~value at $\rho_\odot=0.39\pm 0.09$ GeV/cc.

  2. High-Energy Neutrinos from Black Hole Evaporation in Neutron Stars

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Dark matter collapsing inside neutron stars could repeatedly form microscopic black holes whose Hawking evaporation produces a detectable high-energy neutrino flux concentrated toward the Galactic Center.
