We discuss the consequences of the accretion of dark matter (DM) particles on compact stars such as white dwarfs and neutron stars. We show that in large regions of the DM parameter space, these objects are sensitive probes of the presence of DM and can be used to set constraints both on the DM density and on the physical properties of DM particles.

  1. 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.

  2. Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

    gr-qc 2019-04 accept novelty 2.0

    Current and future observations can test whether dark compact objects are Kerr black holes or exotic alternatives, with null results strengthening the black hole paradigm.
