DESCRIPTION:Nuclear physics with strangeness is a challenging field: by ex
 tending the conventional nuclear physics models to accommodate the new deg
 ree of freedom (strangeness)\, a variety of new phenomena can be investiga
 ted.\n\nHypernuclei are bound systems composed of neutrons\, protons\, plu
 s one or more strange baryons\, like the hyperons Lambda and Sigma. Due to
  the lack of stable hyperon beams\, the determination of the properties of
  the hyperon-nucleon (YN) and hyperon-hyperon (YY) interactions relies hea
 vily\non binding energies and spectroscopic data of hypernuclei. In additi
 on\,the decay of hypernuclei through the non-mesonic mode offers a unique 
 opportunity to study the baryon-baryon interactions in the weak sector.\n\
 nWell determined baryon-baryon interactions (in all strangeness sectors)ar
 e crucial ingredients for understanding the physics of neutron star interi
 ors where the density conditions favour the presence of hyperons\, which m
 ake the equation-of-state softer thereby reducing the maximum mass\nthe st
 ar can support.\n\nStrangeness in nuclear matter can also be present in th
 e form of mesons. If the attraction felt by antikaons in the medium is hig
 h enough\, it may be more energetically favorable\, in the interior of a n
 eutron star\, to replace electrons with negatively charged antikaons\, giv
 ing rise to the \nphenomenon of kaon condensation. Although still a matter
  of debate\, the many-body approaches developed recently do not support th
 is claim. The knowledge of the kaon and antikaon properties are also relev
 ant for the analysis of heavy-ion collision data.\n\nIn this talk I will p
 resent an overview of different problems and phenomena in the field of str
 ange nuclear physics\, paying a special attention to the astrophysical imp
 lications.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/792/
