We study possible effects of a dark matter (DM) core on the maximum mass of a neutron star (NS), on the mass-radius relation and on the NS tidal deformability parameter $\Lambda$. We show that all these quantities would in general be reduced in the presence of a DM core. In particular, our calculations indicate that the presence of a DM core with a mass fraction $\sim 5\%$ could affect significantly the interpretation of these NS data as constraints on the nuclear equation of state (EOS), potentially excluding some EOS models on the basis of the measured mass of PSR J0348+0432, while allowing other EOS models to become consistent with the LIGO/Virgo upper limit on $\Lambda$. Specific scenarios for generating such DM cores are explored in an Appendix.

    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. Asymmetric Cannibal Dark Matter: Constraints from Neutron Star

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Axial Quasi-normal Modes of Admixed Neutron Stars

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Increasing the bosonic dark matter fraction in admixed neutron stars shifts axial quasi-normal mode frequencies and damping times, can reorder mode hierarchy, and drives a transition from neutron-star-like to boson-st...

  5. The crust of dark-matter admixed neutron stars: bulk properties and torsional oscillations

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dark matter admixed neutron stars show up to 12% thinner crusts and higher torsional oscillation frequencies than pure neutron stars when dark matter forms a core, with analytical formulas matching numerics at sub-per...

  6. 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

    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%.

  7. Bulk viscosity from neutron decays to dark baryons in neutron star matter

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    Neutron dark decays modify the equation of state and either mildly suppress or strongly enhance bulk viscosity in neutron star merger conditions, depending on the in-medium decay rate.
