DARK STARS: IMPROVED MODELS AND FIRST PULSATION RESULTS
We use the stellar evolution code MESA to study dark stars (DSs). DSs, which are powered by dark matter (DM) self-annihilation rather than by nuclear fusion, may be the first stars to form in the universe. We compute stellar models for accreting DSs with masses up to 106 M☉. The …
