Abstract: (APS)

Pulsars apparently missing from the Galactic center could have been destroyed by asymmetric fermionic dark matter (mX=1–100 GeV) coupled to a light scalar (mϕ=5–20 MeV), which mixes with the Higgs boson. We point out that this pulsar-collapsing dark sector can resolve the core-cusp problem and will either be excluded or discovered by upcoming direct detection experiments. Another implication is a maximum pulsar age curve that increases with distance from the Galactic center, with a normalization that depends on the couplings and masses of dark sector particles. In addition, we use old pulsars outside the Galactic center to place bounds on asymmetric Higgs portal models.
