Particle physics from stars

Low-mass particles, such as neutrinos, axions, other Nambu-Goldstone bosons , and gravitons, are produced in the hot and dense interior of stars. There fore, astrophysical arguments constrain the properties of these particles i n ways that are often complementary to cosmological arguments and to labora tory experiments. This review provides an update on the most important stel lar-evolution limits and discusses them in the context of other information from cosmology and laboratory experiments.
