Dark matter in compact stars

J Bramante, N Raj - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark
matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole …

[LIBRO][B] The physics of the dark photon: a primer

M Fabbrichesi, E Gabrielli, G Lanfranchi - 2021 - Springer
New Particles Beyond the Standard Model have always been thought to be charged under
at least some of the same gauge interactions of ordinary particles. Although this assumption …

Multimessenger constraints on radiatively decaying axions from GW170817

M Diamond, D Fiorillo, G Marques-Tavares… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The metastable hypermassive neutron star produced in the coalescence of two neutron stars
can copiously produce axions that radiatively decay into O (100) MeV photons. These …

First constraints on nuclear coupling of axionlike particles from the binary neutron star gravitational wave event GW170817

J Zhang, Z Lyu, J Huang, MC Johnson, L Sagunski… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Light axion fields, if they exist, can be sourced by neutron stars due to their coupling to
nuclear matter, and play a role in binary neutron star mergers. We report on a search for …

Tidal Love numbers of novel and admixed celestial objects

M Collier, D Croon, RK Leane - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A subfraction of dark matter or new particles trapped inside celestial objects can significantly
alter their macroscopic properties. We investigate the new physics imprint on celestial …

Neutron stars with baryon number violation, probing dark sectors

JM Berryman, S Gardner, M Zakeri - Symmetry, 2022 - mdpi.com
The neutron lifetime anomaly has been used to motivate the introduction of new physics with

Probing muonic forces with neutron star binaries

JA Dror, R Laha, T Opferkuch - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We show that gravitational wave emission from neutron star binaries can be used to
discover any generic long-ranged muonic force due to the large inevitable abundance of …
