Scattering and capture

Halo WIMPs are captured Captured WIMPs accumulate inside the star, thermalize

and “sink” to the centerby scattering off the gas of the star

DM Capture(for the “vanilla” WIMP)

WIMPs thermally relaxed within the star:Distribution

WIMP resilience volume point-sourceRX109cm<<Rc

Equilibrium timescales are short

At equilibrium

Where does this take place (efficiently)?Galactic Centeris dense in DM

Little DM in our neighborhood

Conclusions

Self annihilating DM can not modify the structure of the Sun

Non annihilating DM can modify the structure of the Sun

Non annihilating DM induces variation on 8B neutrino flux

Competitive constraints on SD cross section (low masses)

More to be addressesd with other type of stars in other environs
