15:00 Optical, Gravitational, and Radio Signatures of DM-induced Neutron Star Implosions

Speaker: Yu-Dai Tsai (Cornell University)

Slides Donut_Brookhaven_Tsai_submit.pptx We consider the astrophysical signatures of dark matter (DM)-induced neutron star (NS) implosions based on the capture and collapse of heavy asymmetric DM (ADM). In particular, the altered NS-merger distribution observed through LIGO/Virgo, and the associated merger kilonovae observed through telescopes, such as DES, BlackGEM, and ZTF, can test the ADM hypothesis, given 5 -10 localized detections. We also set bounds on ADM parameter space by considering the DES kilonova search and the abundance of r-process element. The first neutron-star merger detection by LIGO/Virgo and optical/gamma-ray telescopes would provide us with the first robust data point for our statistical test. This talk is based on arXiv:1706.00001.
