Vortex creep heating vs. dark matter heating in neutron stars

Dark matter particles captured in neutron stars deposit their energy as heat. This DM heating effect can be observed only if it dominates over other internal heating effects in neutron stars. In this work, as an example of such an internal heating source, we consider the frictional heating caused by...
