Could the Sun be trapping asymmetric dark matter?

Unexplained discrepancies between mathematical models of the Sun and astronomical observations could be resolved by the presence of dark matter in the Sun, according to the latest work from an international team of researchers. The team's model – which looks at dark matter that has a particular, momentum-dependent interaction with normal matter – explains the observed data much better than more conventional dark-matter models. The researchers believe that the particles they postulate could potentially be seen either by direct detectors or in particle accelerators.
