Europe/Berlin timezone

Overview:

Different types of astrophysical environments—such as horizontal branch stars, the sun, supernovae (SNe), neutron stars, black holes—offer different guises to explore fundamental physics, and in particular feebly interacting sectors.

A collaborative effort between particle physicists, astrophysicists and astronomers is highly desirable. This interaction can help refine existing ideas, identify the most promising candidate theories and come up with new possible signatures from astrophysical objects.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the relevant communities, paving the way for a new decade in fundamental physics.
