A "dark-energy star" is a hypothetical astrophysical object that has been proposed in theories discussing the nature of dark energy, which is thought to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. In the context of these theories, dark-energy stars are envisioned as stellar objects that can exhibit properties influenced by dark energy, in contrast to ordinary stars that are primarily governed by electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The concept is largely theoretical and may involve exotic physics beyond the Standard Model of cosmology.
