Millicharged particles weaken pulsational pair-instability in massive stars, shifting the lower edge of the black hole mass gap upward and turning gravitational wave observations into a probe for particles with masses 35-200 keV and charges 10^{-10} to 10^{-9}.
Magnetic wind braking can slow ssrAp stars like 33 Lib to rotation periods of 80 years or more according to MESA evolution models that include magnetic field and wind changes.
