Abstract

In this talk I will discuss the rich interplay of light particles with density. In particular, I will show that the couplings of the QCD axion get modified in high density conditions. I will discuss the implications on astrophysical constraints, such as supernova and neutron star bounds. I will then look at the impact that axion-like particles can have on the structure of neutron stars
