Sir Fred, where are you?
Everyone hails as a great success a theory which explains < 4% of our Universe.Dark energy, dark matter Dark what ?
![Page 26: Physics in Space or Phenomenology and Fundamentals of our Universe Giovanni F. Bignami](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568158e4550346895dc626c0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Can’t our Universe make up its mind?
to inflate, to expand or to accelerate ?

Supernovae lead us naturally to another baby, non e-m astronomy :
neutrinos(12 out of 1058 ) from:

The other astronomical neutrino source, the Sun,
has also taught us a nice piece of physics (even if it took several decades):
neutrinos oscillate and have mass
![Page 29: Physics in Space or Phenomenology and Fundamentals of our Universe Giovanni F. Bignami](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568158e4550346895dc626c0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
-oscillations have a QED analogous :
- LPB oscillations
- LPBs are predicted by Standard Model extensions, such as Kaluza-Klein or superstring theories
- Best know LPB is the Peccei-Quinn AXION
- What mass m and what two-photon coupling constant M for an LPB (axion)?

Zavattini et al (softly) say:m= 10-3 eV M= 3.8 105 GeV
PRL 96,110406 (2006)
If true:New Physics
But, at CERN,CAST saysNO by 5 orders of magnitude…

In the sky we can do BETTER than in Legnaro or CERN, thanks to neutron stars, and especially the 0737 binary system

Astronomy check of PVLAS claim, just as well, if it is a scalar boson

QED vacuum effects close to neutron stars, where photons propagate in a highly magnetized vacuum:
Quantum vacuum birefringence for B close to Bcrit creates orbital and rotational modulation of X-raysfrom the 0737 systemPRL 94,161101 (2005)

Quantum vacuum magnetization has more surprises in store, including for isolated
neutron stars:
• Quantum Vacuum Friction: for magnetars QVF energy loss is >> e.m. radiative energy loss
Dupays et al PRL submitted
• QED suppression of vacuum dicroism creates extra elliptical polarization for light travelling close to magnetars
(Dupays and Roncadelli in press)

Where to with Space Part?
• Gravitational waves : need 1 source! Correlation with Planck Correlation with GRBs
• Neutrino astronomy (need > 2 sources)• GZK or no GZK? post-Auger EHE CRs• NEW PHYSICS: QED close to neutron stars?
LPBs (or LSBs) -> DM candidates (one of many…) QVL, QVF, QVP (high energy missions)
• Bring Cold Atoms in space
