- The structure of dark matter admixed neutron stars (DANSs) are investigated, adopting a non-annihilating self-interacting fermionic dark matter (DM) model, with a particular focus on the case of the light DM particle mass $m_D \in [10^{-10}, 1]$ GeV. The DANSs become DM-dominated configurations when $m_D <10^{-1}$ GeV, where a compact neutron star core becomes embedded within an extremely large DM halo. It is found that the maximum mass of DANSs is inversely proportional to $m_{ D}$, approximately as $ 0.627 (\mathrm{GeV/} m_{\rm D})^2 ~\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$, which implies that extremely large masses can be achieved for small $m_{\rm D}$. For $m_D \sim5\times10^{-4}$ GeV, the calculated mass and size of the DM halo can be comparable to those of supermassive black holes such as Sgr A*. Our findings hint at a scenario where neutron stars might serve as strong gravitational seeds for such supermassive dark objects.
