Presentation
Dark matter coupled to light mediators has been invoked to resolve the putative discrepancies between collisionless cold DM and galactic structure observations. However, $\gamma$-ray searches and the CMB strongly constrain such scenarios. To ease the tension, we consider asymmetric DM. We show that, contrary to the common lore, detectable annihilations occur even for large asymmetries, and...

Stars are extremely powerful laboratories for light, weakly interacting particles. In this talk, I will give an overview of stellar bounds and hints on axions and axion like particles. In particular, I will review what we can learn from the evolution of white dwarfs, red giant and horizontal branch stars, and supernovae. I will discuss some new studies and recent advances on supernovae and red...

Presentation
Ultra-low-mass bosonic dark matter particles produced after the Big Bang may form an oscillating classical field, which can be sought for in a variety of low-energy laboratory experiments based on spectroscopic, interferometric and magnetometric techniques, as well as in astrophysical phenomena. These bosonic particles can also mediate anomalous fifth forces between ordinary-matter particles....
