A glimpse of axion phenomenology in astrophysics

The old and successful idea of using astrophysical systems as laboratories for fundamental physics is becoming extremely popular nowadays. Axions are a remarkable example of Feebly Interacting Particles playing an important role in astrophysical phenomena. It is well-known that stars are powerful axion factories, giving strong constraints on their properties. Aspects of the axion phenomenology in horizontal-branch stars and supernovae are reviewed.
