We study a model with a vector dark matter (DM) candidate interacting with the SM charged leptons through a scalar portal. The dark matter candidate acquires mass when the complex scalar breaks an abelian gauge symmetry spontaneously. The…

Previous studies have claimed that there exist correlations among certain nuclear saturation parameters and neutron star observables, such as the slope of the symmetry energy and the radius of a $1.4M_{\odot}$ neutron star. However, it is…

We investigate the equation of state (EOS) of hyperonic neutron star (NS) matter within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field (DDRMF) framework. The effects of scalar, vector, and mixed density dependencies in meson-baryon couplings…

We propose a self-interacting dark matter (DM) scenario with right handed neutrino (RHN) portal to the standard model (SM). The dark sector consists of a particle DM, assumed to be a Dirac fermion, and a light mediator in terms of a dark…

If dark matter (DM) accumulates inside neutron stars (NS), it changes their internal structure and causes a shift of the tidal deformability from the value predicted by the dense-matter equation of state (EOS). In principle, this shift…
