Dark matter (DM) which constitutes five-sixths of all matter is hypothesized to be a weakly interacting non-baryonic particle, created in the early stages of cosmic evolution. It can affect various cosmic structures in the Universe via gravitational interactions. The effect of DM in main sequence stars and stellar remnants like neutron stars and white dwarfs has already been studied. Red giant phase is a late stage of the evolution of stars. In this work, we study, low-mass red giants stars with admixture of DM and how this can effectively change the intrinsic properties of red giants such as their luminosities, temperatures and lifetimes.

暗物质对红色巨人的影响

暗物质（DM）占所有物质的六分之一，被认为是在宇宙演化的早期阶段产生的弱相互作用的非重子粒子。它可以通过引力相互作用影响宇宙中的各种宇宙结构。已经研究了DM对主序恒星和恒星残留物（如中子星和白矮星）的影响。红巨星相是恒星演化的后期。在这项工作中，我们研究了掺有DM的低质量红巨星恒星，以及这如何有效改变红巨星的内在特性，例如其亮度，温度和寿命。
