White dwarfs constraints on dark sector models with light particles

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-17 v1 Solar and Stellar Astrophysics

Abstract

The white dwarf luminosity function is well understood in terms of standard model physics and leaves little room for exotic cooling mechanisms related to the possible existence of new weakly interacting light particles. This puts significant constraints on the parameter space of models that contain a massive dark photon and light dark sector particles.
