| contents | In this paper, we consider three compact objects (HESS J1731-347, PSR J1231-1411, XTE J1814-338) with anomalous mass-radius relation to analyze the possibility of being dark matter admixed neutron stars. We try to infer the dark matter particle properties, under the assumption of behaving as a free Fermi gas. The main novelty relies on the use of a baryonic equation of state obtained from first principles in the whole density range, that allows to eliminate the model dependence of the baryonic part of the calculation. Once the possible Dark Matter Admixed Neutron Star configurations are obtained, we check their stability and whether it is feasible for a Neutron Star to capture the necessary dark matter fraction. We show that two of the anomalous compact objects (HESS J1731-347 and PSR J1231-1411) can be explained with a small fraction of fermionic dark matter content in the star. The other compact object (XTE J1814-338) cannot be explained as a dark matter admixed neutron star, and becomes a potential candidate for a twin star. |
