WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole dark matter that make use of several exceptional properties of compact stars, such as ultra-high densities, deep fermion degeneracies, low temperatures, nucleon superfluidity, strong magnetic fields, high rotational regularity, and significant gravitational wave emissivity. Foundational topics first made explicit in this document include the effect of the “propellor phase” on neutron star baryonic accretion, and the contribution of Auger and Cooper pair breaking effects to neutron star heating by dark matter capture.

WD 和中子星是寻找暗物质的影响深远且多方面的实验室。我们回顾了波状暗物质、粒子状暗物质、宏观暗物质和黑洞暗物质的探测前景，这些暗物质利用致密星的几种特殊特性，如超高密度、深费米子简并性、低温、核子超流性、强磁场、高旋转规律性和显着的引力波发射率。本文件首先明确的基础主题包括“推进器阶段”对中子星重子吸积的影响，以及俄歇和库珀对断裂效应对暗物质捕获对中子星加热的贡献。
