Fermion-boson stars are mixtures of the ordinary nuclear matter of a neutron star and bosonic dark matter. We dynamically evolve fermion-boson stars for the first time using a realistic equation of state for nuclear matter. We use our…
Fermion-boson stars are starlike systems composed of the ordinary nuclear matter of a neutron star and bosonic dark matter. The bosonic dark matter has typically been taken to be a complex scalar field. A natural extension is for the…
Fluid and ultralight bosonic dark matter can interact through gravity to form stable fermion-boson stars, which are static and regular mixed solutions of the Einstein-Euler-(complex, massive) Klein-Gordon system. In this work we study the…
Rotating fermion-boson stars are hypothetical celestial objects that consist of both fermionic and bosonic matter interacting exclusively through gravity. Bosonic fields are believed to arise in certain models of particle physics describing…

While the search for dark matter remains a central focus of modern astrophysics and high-energy physics, neutron stars provide natural laboratories in which the interaction between dark matter and baryonic matter can be studied. In this…
Theoretical models of self-interacting dark matter offer a promising solution to several unresolved issues within the collisionless cold dark matter framework. For asymmetric dark matter, these self-interactions may encourage gravitational…

Compact stars consisting of massless quark matter and fermionic dark matter are studied by solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for two fluids separately. Dark matter is further investigated by incorporating inter-fermionic…
We investigate the effects ultralight bosonic field dark matter may have on the dynamics of unstable differentially-rotating neutron stars prone to the bar-mode instability. To this aim we perform numerical simulations in general relativity…

Compact objects occupy a pivotal role in the exploration of Nature. The interest spans from the role of compact objects in astrophysics to their detection through various methods (gravitational waves interferometry, microlensing, imaging).…
It is by now well established that non-relativistic matter in the Universe is dominated by dark matter, the origin and nature of which still remains a mystery. Although the collisionless dark matter paradigm works very well at large…
In the context of the standard model of particle physics, there is a definite upper limit to the density of stable compact stars. However, if a more fundamental level of elementary particles exists, in the form of preons, stability may be…
Fermion-boson stars are solutions of the gravitationally coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Hydrodynamic equations system. By means of methods developed in previous works, we perform a stability analysis of fermion-boson stars that include a…
Some recent results on rotating self-gravitating configurations composed with Bosons and Fermions are reported. Given a star composed of both Bosons and Fermions without interaction, it is shown that it is possible to obtain stable slowly…
White dwarfs and neutron stars are stellar objects with masses comparable to that of our sun. However, as the endpoint stages of stellar evolution, these objects do not sustain any thermonuclear burning and therefore can no longer support…
Relativistic prescription is used to study the slow rotation of stars composed by self-gravitating bosons and fermions (fermions may be considered as neutrons). Previous results demand that purely boson stars are unable to display slow…
Till today, the nature of Dark Matter (DM) remains elusive despite all our efforts. This missing matter of the universe has not been observed by the already operating DM direct-detection experiments, but we can infer its gravitational…
Neutron stars could contain a mixture of ordinary nuclear matter and dark matter, such that dark matter could influence observable properties of the star, such as its mass and radius. We study these dark matter admixed neutron stars for two…
