================================================================================= "Can neutron stars constrain dark matter?" Dr. Christoforos Kouvaris Free University of Brussels, Belgium ================================================================================= When: Tuesday, 18th of May of 2010 at 4:00 pm Where: 2nd Floor Seminar Room ================================================================================= Abstract: I am going to talk about the possibility of constraining dark matter candidates by neutron star observations. In particular, I am going to argue that WIMP annihilation inside a neutron star might change the cooling behavior of an old star, keeping it warmer than what the classical cooling models predict. =================================================================================
