Dark mountains of neutron stars: gravitational waves probe dark matter

Researchers combined a two-fluid model of neutron stars with fermionic dark matter and results from the search for continuous gravitational waves by the LIGO detectors. An anisotropic distribution of dark matter can create 'dark mountains' — quadrupole deformations that amplify emission. Comparison
