Dark matter effects on hybrid star properties

Understand

In the present work we investigate the effects of dark matter (DM) on hybrid star properties.

• We assume that dark matter is mixed with both hadronic and quark matter and interact with them through the exchange of a Higgs boson.
• The hybrid star properties are obtained from equations of state calculated with a Maxwell prescription.
• For the hadronic matter we use the NL3* parameter set and for the quark matter, the MIT bag model with a vector interaction.
