contents In the vicinity of the Milky Way Galactic Center, celestial bodies, including neutron stars, reside within a dense dark matter environment. This study explores the accumulation of dark matter by neutron stars through dark matter-nucleon interactions, leading to increased internal dark matter density. Consequently, dark matter annihilation produces long-lived mediators that escape and decay into neutrinos. Leveraging experimental limits from IceCube, ANTARES, and future projections from ARIA, we establish constraints on the dark matter-nucleon cross section within a simplified dark $U(1)_{X}$ mediator model. This approach, applicable to various celestial objects and dark matter models, offers insights into the intricate interplay between dark matter and neutron stars near the Galactic Center.
