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 …

Isolated ideal neutron stars (NS) of age> 10 9 yr exhaust thermal and rotational energies
and cool down to temperatures below O (100) K. Accretion of particle dark matter (DM) by …

We present exoplanets as new targets to discover dark matter (DM). Throughout the Milky
Way, DM can scatter, become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and increase the heat …

Indirect detection experiments typically measure the flux of annihilating dark matter (DM)
particles propagating freely through galactic halos. We consider a new scenario where …

We identify a largely model-independent signature of dark matter (DM) interactions with
nucleons and electrons. DM in the local galactic halo, gravitationally accelerated to over half …

Dark matter (DM) can be captured in celestial bodies after scattering and losing sufficient
energy to become gravitationally bound. We derive a general framework that describes the …

Dark matter (DM) from the galactic halo can accumulate in neutron stars and transmute them
into sub-2.5 M⊙ black holes if the dark matter particles are heavy, stable, and have …

Neutron stars provide a cosmic laboratory to study the nature of dark matter particles and
their interactions. Dark matter can be captured by neutron stars via scattering, where kinetic …

Unusual masses of black holes being discovered by gravitational wave experiments pose
fundamental questions about the origin of these black holes. Black holes with masses …

We outline two important effects that are missing from most evaluations of the dark matter
capture rate in neutron stars. As dark matter scattering with nucleons in the star involves …
