Description

I will focus on constraints that can be imposed on the properties of dark matter based on observations of neutron stars and white dwarfs. In particular, I will show constraints on WIMP self-interactions (that in some cases are stricter than the bullet cluster) as well as constraints on generic asymmetric dark matter derived from observations of nearby old neutron stars.
