“Dark Stars, or the Effect of Dark Matter on the First Stars” Dr. Paolo Gondolo University of Utah |
| The first stars to form in the universe may have shined thanks to the energy coming from dark matter annihilation instead of nuclear fusion. They were dark-matter-powered stars, or for short Dark Stars. In this talk, I will describe the story of Dark Stars: how they formed, how they evolved, and how they might have died. |
