A recent proposal suggests that experimental discrepancies on the lifetime of neutrons can be resolved if neutrons decay to dark matter. At the same time it has been demonstrated that such a decay mode would soften the nuclear equation of state resulting in neutron stars with a maximum mass much below currently observed ones. In this paper we demonstrate that appropriate dark matter-baryon interactions can accommodate neutron stars with mass above 2 solar masses. We also show that dark matter self-interactions could also help neutrons stars reach 2 solar masses provided that dark matter is of asymmetric nature.

Scalar baryons in neutron stars
Scalar baryons made inside neutron stars require non-perturbatively large repulsive self-couplings, lambda_4 greater than 1000, to permit two-solar-mass stars, and attractive self-interactions make even scalars heavie...
