Dark Matter near gravitating bodies

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-08-07 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that in the vicinity of certain astronomical bodies, e.g., a Neutron Star, a Black Hole, there exist significant enhancements of Dark Matter's density and current, due to its interaction with the gravitational field of the bodies. This enhancement implies that the effects of Dark Matter - Normal Matter interactions are enhanced and hence might be observable.
