Astrophysical constraints on the couplings of light and weakly coupled pseudoscalar particles (axions, Majorons, familons, . . . ) from considerations of various stellar objects are summarized. We tabulate the astrophysical bounds on the mass and the decay constant of Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitsky (DFSZ) axions and Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (KSVZ) axions, on the triplet Majoron vacuum expectation value vT, and on the familon breaking scale. The lower bound of the Peccei-Quinn breaking scale in the KSVZ model is generally one order of magnitude weaker than that in the DFSZ model. The most stringent limit on vT<2 keV is obtained from considerations of Majoron emission from the cores of neutron stars. Bounds on the strength of the 1/r potential mediated by Gelmini-Roncadelli Majorons are also given.
