Description

The Sun and other nearby stars can act as powerful probes of particle dark matter, thanks to precision observations. However, because the effect of dark matter is small, we must be certain that our modelling of the effect of dark matter and the stellar response is correct. I will discuss recent developments on modelling the subtle effects of dark matter, with some focus on helio- and asteroseismology.
