Compact Stars: a window to new physics

Due to their high densities, compact stars present themselves as ideal candidates for studying novel interactions in the universe. The core of such stars exists under extreme conditions that remain unattainable through experiments conducted on Earth. In this talk, I will discuss two means of investigating new physics through the observation of compact stars, namely: the capture of novel particles at the centre of compact stars, and the production of novel particles at the centre of compact stars. Additionally, we shall provide a concise overview of the current status and future prospects of employing compact stars for the purpose of exploring new physics.
