Recently there has been significant interest in the claim that dark matter axions gravitationally thermalize and form a Bose-Einstein condensate with cosmologically long-range correlation. This has potential consequences for galactic scale…

If dark matter is composed of axions, then axion stars form in the cores of dark matter halos. These stars are unstable above a critical mass, decaying to radio photons that heat the intergalactic medium, offering a new channel for axion…

We investigate thermodynamic aspects of black holes in the recently formulated four dimensional Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity, focusing on its asymptotically de Sitter ($\Lambda>0$) solutions. We take a Euclidean path integral approach,…

Cooling simulations of neutron stars and their comparison with the data from thermally emitting x-ray sources put constraints on the properties of axions, and by extension of any light pseudoscalar dark matter particles, whose existence has…

Within the Canonical Ensemble, we investigate a system of interacting relativistic bosons at finite temperatures and finite isospin densities in a mean-field approach. The mean field contains both attractive and repulsive terms. Temperature…

Superradiant instability can form clouds around rotating black holes (BHs) composed of ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions. A BH with such a cloud in a binary system exhibits rich phenomena, and gravitational waves (GWs) from the BH…

In the framework of the Thomas-Fermi model at finite temperature, we show that a cooling nondegenerate gas of massive neutrinos will undergo a phase transition in which quasi-degenerate supermassive neutrino stars are formed through…

In course of the consolidation of nucleon (neutron) spacing inside a compact star, two key factors are expected to come into play side by side: the lack of self-stabilization against shutting into black hole (BH) and forthcoming phase…

We discuss head-on collisions of neutron stars and disks of dust ("galaxies") following the ideas of equilibrium thermodynamics, which compares equilibrium states and avoids the description of the dynamical transition processes between…

We present a theoretical model for detecting axions from neutron stars in a QCD phase of quark matter. The axions would be produced from a quark-antiquark pair $u\bar{u}$ or $d\bar{d}$, in loop(s) involving gluons. The chiral anomaly of QCD…
