The Effects of Self-interacting Bosonic Dark Matter on Neutron Star Properties

We propose a model of asymmetric bosonic dark matter (DM) with self-repulsion. By adopting the two-fluid formalism, we study different DM distribution regimes, either, fully condensed inside the core of a star, or, otherwise, distributed in a dilute halo around a neutron star (NS). We show that for...
