Description
I will try here to convince you that neutron stars can be used as a laboratory to
test dark matter candidates that deviate from the standard WIMP scenario. After
introducing toy models that lead to the formation of dark structures bounded to
neutron stars, I will show how the presence of dark matter affects typical neutron
stars observables such as the mass-radius relation, tidal deformability and the
gravitational wave spectrum emitted by neutron stars mergers.
