In this work, we investigate the neutron star structure in conservative $f(R, T)$ gravity with $f(R, T)=R+\lambda T$, where $\lambda$ denotes the matter--geometry coupling. The modified stellar structure equations are solved using realistic…

Neutron stars (NSs) can be used to constrain dark matter (DM) since a NS can transform into a black hole (BH) if it captures sufficient DM particles and exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit. We extend earlier work and for the first time take…

Massive neutrinos have a detectable effect on cosmological structure formation, in particular on the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Adding Hot Dark Matter to the now-standard Lambda CDM model leads to a worse fit to large-scale…

It is of great interest to understand the equation of state (EOS) of the neutron star (NS), whose core includes highly dense matter. However, there are large uncertainties in the theoretical predictions for the EOS of NS. It is useful to…

Compact stellar objects are promising cosmic laboratories to test the nature of dark matter (DM). DM captured by the strong gravitational field of these stellar remnants transfers kinetic energy to the star during the collision. This can…

We propose a new mechanism by which dark matter (DM) can affect the early universe. The hot interior of a macroscopic DM, or macro, can behave as a heat reservoir so that energetic photons are emitted from its surface. This results in…
