Key Details
Dark matter cores have small effects on relations for rotating neutron stars
Mass, radius, and shape change little (within 4%, 2%, 1.4%) with 5% dark matter
So universal relations remain useful to constrain dark matter properties
Dark matter softens neutron star structure as expected

Impact of dark matter on neutron star structure
This study explores how dark matter cores inside neutron stars affect relations about the stars' mass, radius, and shape changes when rotating. With 5% dark matter, mass, radius, and shape change relations remain accurate within 4%, 2%, and 1.4%. So these universal relations can still reveal dark matter effects on neutron stars.
