Description
The existence of dark matter has long been extensively studied in the past few decades. In this study, we investigate the emission of neutrinos and photons from neutron stars (NSs) by employing the modified theory of gravity and the corresponding Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) system of equations. The extreme matter densities and magnetic fields inside a NS provide a unique laboratory for studying fundamental physics, including the interplay between gravity and quantum field effects. The impact of a strong magnetic field has also been incorporated into the corresponding TOV equations. We here attempt to see how neutrinos and photons emissions from these strange compact objects are impacted by employing the modified TOV equations due to modified theories of gravity, like $f(R,T)$ gravity or scalar-tensor theories, and strong magnetic fields. Our analysis focusses on how these modifications influence NS's structure, cooling processes, and emission processes, particularly through neutrino and photon emission rates. We also explore the implications of such modifications on the observational signatures that current and future astrophysical instruments could detect. This research contributes to the broader effort of linking predictions of the theoretical models with the observational data to refine our understanding of physics of the neutron stars and the fundamental forces governing the universe.
