First, NS-imploding dark matter forms <math><mrow><mo>\u223c</mo><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>\u2212</mo><mn>10</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></math> solar mass or smaller black holes inside neutron stars, which proceed to convert neutron stars into <math><mrow><mo>\u223c</mo><mn>1.5</mn></mrow></math> solar mass black holes (BHs). This decreases the number of neutron star mergers seen by LIGO/Virgo (LV) and associated merger kilonovae seen by telescopes like DES, BlackGEM, and ZTF, instead producing a population of \u201cblack mergers\u201d containing <math><mo>\u223c</mo><mn>1.5</mn></math> solar mass black holes. Second, dark matter-induced neutron star implosions may create a new kind of kilonovae that lacks a detectable, accompanying gravitational signal, which we call \u201cquiet kilonovae.\u201d Using DES data and the Milky Way\u2019s r-process abundance, we constrain quiet kilonovae. Third, the spatial distribution of neutron star merger kilonovae and quiet kilonovae in galaxies can be used to detect dark matter. NS-imploding dark matter destroys most neutron stars at the centers of disc galaxies, so that neutron star merger kilonovae would appear mostly in a donut at large radii. We find that as few as ten neutron star merger kilonova events, located to <math><mrow><mo>\u223c</mo><mn>1</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>kpc</mi></mrow></math> precision could validate or exclude dark matter-induced neutron star implosions at <math><mn>2</mn><mi>\u03c3</mi></math> confidence, exploring dark matter-nucleon cross-sections 4\u201310 orders of magnitude below current direct detection experimental limits. Similarly, NS-imploding dark matter as the source of fast radio bursts can be tested at <math><mn>2</mn><mi>\u03c3</mi></math> confidence once 20 bursts are located in host galaxies by radio arrays like CHIME and HIRAX."
