Description
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are abundantly
produced in stars. The backreaction on stellar evolution,
ranging from ordinary stars to core-collapse supernovae,
provides powerful astrophysical constraints. The Sun is the
source for the CAST and future IAXO axion searches.
Moreover, within allowed parameters, ALPs can strongly
modify the propagation of TeV gamma rays. The status of
these traditional topics is reviewed with an emphasis on
possible future developments.
