Abstract
We introduce the strong CP problem and the existence of the Axion as a possible solution.
We discuss the possibility that axions are the dark matter of the Universe and the possible ways to
detect it or disprove it using: direct laboratory experiments as well as astrophysical and cosmological

Abstract
I will review our current knowledge of soft gamma repeaters (SGR) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXP), two peculiar classes of pulsars believed to be 'magnetars', i.e. neutron stars powered by a huge magnetic field. Recent studies of transient events from SGRs and AXPs allowed a large jump in our understanding of these objects, although they also prompted new unanswered questions. In particular, the recent discovery of a low magnetic field magnetar is causing a re-think of some of the basic ingredients of the magnetar model.
