Particulate dark matter captured by a population of neutron stars distributed around the galactic center while annihilating through long-lived mediators can give rise to an observable neutrino flux. We examine the prospect of an idealised gigaton detector like IceCube/KM3NeT in probing such scenarios. Within this framework, we report an improved reach in spin-dependent and spin-independent dark matter nucleon cross-section below the current limits for dark matter masses in the TeV-PeV range.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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...

  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.

  3. Search for GeV-scale Dark Matter from the Galactic Center with IceCube-DeepCore

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Using 9.28 years of IceCube-DeepCore data, no dark-matter neutrino signal is found from the Galactic Center, setting the strongest neutrino-telescope limits for GeV-scale annihilation and decay.

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

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  5. Super-Kamiokande Strongly Constrains Leptophilic Dark Matter Capture in the Sun

    astro-ph.HE 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  6. Constraining dark matter self-interaction from kinetic heating in neutron stars

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  7. Thermal emission from dark matter-heated neutron stars in the Galactic Center

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    DM-heated neutron stars in the Galactic Center reach equilibrium temperatures of 10^4-10^6 K but their emission is below detection thresholds due to extinction.
