Description
Using stars as natural laboratories for fundamental physics is an idea with deep roots, but recent years have seen a dynamic resurgence in this approach. In this talk, we will explore how stellar observations - both historical and cutting-edge - are shedding light on axions and other feebly interacting particles. By tracing the evolution of these ideas, from classic arguments to modern developments, we aim to highlight the growing role of astrophysics in probing new physics.
