Dark matter or regular matter in neutron stars? How to tell the difference from the coalescence of compact objects
The mirror twin Higgs model is a candidate for (strongly-interacting) complex dark matter, which mirrors SM interactions with heavier quark masses. A consequence of this model are mirror neutron stars -- exotic stars made entirely of mirror matter, which are significantly smaller than neutron stars and electromagnetically dark. This makes …
