Observational Probes of the Neutron Star Equation of State with Hyperons, Bosonic Dark Matter, and Quark Matter

Understand

Context.

• The presence of dark matter in neutron stars is of growing interest due to its potential impact on the structure and observable properties of these objects.
• Among the various candidates, the hypothetical sexaquark has emerged as a promising bosonic dark matter particle, potentially forming under extreme conditions in neutron star cores.
• Aims.
