Low energy imprints of modifications to general relativity are often found in pressure balance equations inside stars. These modifications are then amenable to tests via astrophysical phenomena, using observational effects in stellar astrophysics that crucially depend on such equations. One such effect is tidal disruption of stars in the vicinity o...

One of the most exciting and pressing issues in cosmology today is the discrepancy between some measurements of the local Hubble constant and other values of the expansion rate inferred from the observed temperature and polarization fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Resolving these differences holds the potential for ...

We compute the detailed energy spectra of axions with two-photon coupling produced in stellar cores over a wide range of stellar masses. We focus on main sequence stars and base our calculations on the stellar interior profiles from MESA, for which we provide simple fits in an appendix. The obtained stellar axion spectra, combined with recent model...

Dark matter (DM) can be captured in celestial bodies after scattering and losing sufficient energy to become gravitationally bound. We derive a general framework that describes the current DM distribution inside celestial objects, which self-consistently includes the effects of concentration diffusion, thermal diffusion, gravity, and capture accumu...
We present a study aiming at detecting VMS in local star-forming region from the imprint they leave on the integrated UV and optical light. We analyzed a sample of 27 star-forming regions and galaxies in the local Universe. We selected sources with a metallicity close to that of the LMC. We defined empirical criteria to distinguish sources dominate...

The solutions of traversable wormholes and their geometries are investigated in higher-curvature gravity with boundary terms for each case under the presence of anisotropic, isotropic and barotropic fluids in detail. For each case, the effective energy-momentum tensor violates the null energy condition throughout the wormhole throat. The null and w...

We investigate the impact of the deformed phase space associated with the quantum Snyder space on microphysical systems. The general Fermi–Dirac equation of state and specific corrections to it are derived. We put emphasis on non-relativistic degenerate Fermi gas as well as on the temperature-finite corrections to it. Considering the most general o...

Light weakly interacting particles could be copiously produced in the Sun which, as a well-understood star, could provide severe constraints on such new physics. In this work, we calculate the solar production rates of light gauge bosons (e.g. dark photon) arising from various U(1) extensions of the standard model. It is known that the dark photon ...

We review recent works on the dynamics of circumbinary accretion, including time variability, angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of accreting binaries. These dynamics impact stellar binary formation/evolution, circumbinary planet formation/migration, and the evolution of (super)massive black...
