Abstract

By assuming that only gravitation acts between dark matter (DM) and normal matter (NM), we studied DM admixed neutron stars (DANSs) using the two-fluid TOV equations. The NM and DM of compact stars are simulated by the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory and non-self-annihilating self-interacting fermionic model, respectively. The effects of the particle mass of fermionic DM mfm_f and the interaction strength parameter yy on the properties of DANSs are investigated in detail. mfm_f and yy are considered as the free parameters due to the lack of information about the particle nature of DM so far. For a DANS, we suggest a simple universal relationship MDmax=(0.267y+0.6273.21MN\M)(1\GeVmf)2\MM_D^{\max}=(0.267 y +0.627-3.21\frac{M_N}{\M_{\odot}})( \frac{1\GeV}{{m_f}})^2 \M_{\odot} for y>100y>100, where MDmaxM_D^{\max} is the maximum mass of DM existing in DANSs and MNM_N is the mass of the neutron star without DM. For free fermion DM model (yy=0), the relationship becomes MDmax=(0.6270.027MN2\M2)(1\GeVmf)2\M M_D^{\max}=(0.627-0.027\frac{M_N^2}{\M_{\odot}^2}) ( \frac{1\GeV}{{m_f}})^2 \M_{\odot}. The radius of DM RDR_D shows a linear relationship with MDmaxM_D^{\max} in DANSs, namely RD=(7.02MDmax\M+1.36)R_D=(7.02 \frac{M_D^{\max}}{ \M_{\odot}}+1.36)~km. These conclusions are independent of the different NM EOSs from RMF theory. Such a kind of universal relationship connecting the nature of DM particle and mass of stars might shed light on the constraining the nature of the DM by indirect method.
