Abstract
We consider gravitationally bound states of asymmetric dark matter (ADM stars), and the impact of ADM capture on the stability of neutron stars. We derive and interpret the equation of state for ADM with both attractive and repulsive interactions, and solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations to find equilibrium sequences and maximum masses of ADM stars. Gravitational wave searches can utilize our solutions to model exotic compact objects (ECOs). Our results for attractive interactions differ substantially from those in the literature, where fermionic ADM with attractive self-interactions was employed to destabilize neutron stars more effectively than noninteracting fermionic ADM. By contrast, we argue that fermionic ADM with an attractive force is no more effective in destabilizing neutron stars than fermionic ADM with no self-interactions.
