Dark matter stars

The dark matter in the CGF cosmology is a cosmological SU(2)-weak gauge field (the CGF). The TOV stellar structure equations are solved numerically for stars composed of this dark matter. The star mass M can take any value up to a maximum $9.14 \times 10^{-6}$ M_sun. For each value of M the star radius R lies between 5.23cm and 13.6cm. More than one value of R is possible when M > $5.09 \times 10^{-6}$ M_sun. For those stars, a transition from larger to smaller R would release gravitational energy on the order of $10^{41}$J in a time on the order of $10^{-10}$s.
