abstract

We study the effect of WIMP annihilation on the temperature of a neutron star. We shall argue that the released energy due to WIMP annihilation inside the neutron stars, might affect the temperature of stars older than 10 million years, flattening out the temperature at $\sim 10^4$ K for a typical neutron star.

  1. A self-consistent single-fluid framework for neutron stars admixed with mirror dark matter

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Mirror dark matter admixture via mutual mean-field shifts softens the nuclear EOS, raises central densities, lowers maximum masses, and moves the direct Urca onset to higher or lower masses depending on symmetry-energ...

  2. Neutron stars can shine a light on elusive lepton-flavor-violating dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Flavor blocking keeps lepton-flavor-violating dark matter from thermalizing inside neutron stars, so p-wave annihilation stays efficient and heats the star to observable temperatures.

  3. Asymmetric Cannibal Dark Matter: Constraints from Neutron Star

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Asymmetric cannibal dark matter with Z3-symmetric 3→2 interactions depletes in neutron star cores, producing observable heating signatures that constrain dark matter parameters beyond standard annihilation models.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Repeated collapse of asymmetric dark matter inside neutron stars into evaporating microscopic black holes can produce a Galactic-Center-concentrated high-energy neutrino flux at the 10^-12 GeV cm^-2 s^-1 level, subdom...

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Complementary Planetary Spectroscopy Probes of Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter annihilation energy deposited in planetary atmospheres and interiors, compared against existing UV airglow and heat flow measurements, yields new sub-GeV scattering constraints and long-lived mediator reach.

  7. 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 of 10

    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.

  8. Probing freeze-in dark matter using Bose-Einstein condensate in neutron star

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  9. Neutron star with dark matter using vector portal

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Vector-portal fermionic dark matter softens or stiffens the neutron-star equation of state depending on Z' mass, producing mass-radius and tidal-deformability signatures constrained by GW170817 and NICER.

  10. Neutron star with dark matter using vector portal

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Vector portal fermionic dark matter admixed in neutron stars produces mediator-mass-dependent changes to the equation of state, yielding distinct mass-radius relations and tidal deformabilities that observations can u...

  11. Sub-GeV dark matter in neutron stars: halo morphologies and their suppression by vacuum-like pressure

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A small vacuum-like dark-energy admixture in neutron stars with 400 MeV–1 GeV fermionic dark matter shrinks halo-induced radius differences from several kilometers to sub-kilometer scales and mass differences to ≲1%.

  12. Can Orbital Decay of Accreting Binary Pulsars Probe Dark Matter?

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dark matter accretion onto binary pulsars is far too weak to affect observed orbital decay, so existing pulsar timing data cannot probe dark matter microphysics.

    astro-ph.HE 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Super-Kamiokande data constrains the DM-electron scattering cross-section for leptophilic dark matter to ~4e-41 cm2 below 100 GeV, exceeding direct detection by over an order of magnitude.
