Electromagnetic Dalitz Decays of $D_{(s)}^\ast$ Mesons

Rare electromagnetic decays of charmed mesons are useful laboratories to explore the structure of hadronic states and the interactions between photon and charmed mesons, to test the chiral perturbation theory in flavor sector and to search for new physics including dark photons. In this paper, we calculate the relative branching ratios of electromagnetic Dalitz decays $D_{(s)}^\ast\to D_{(s)}\ell^+\ell^-$ to their corresponding radiative decays $D_{(s)}^\ast\to D_{(s)}γ$, the dileptonic invariant mass spectra and the leptonic angular distributions with transition form factor in Vector-Meson Dominance model, where $D_{(s)}^\ast$ represents $D^\ast(2007)^0$, $D^\ast(2010)^\pm$, $D^\ast(2640)^\pm$, $D_s^{\ast\pm}$, $D_{s1}^\ast(2700)^\pm$ and $D_{s1}^\ast(2860)^\pm$.
