โฆ Synopsis
The recent past witnesses the growing interdependence between the physics of hadrons, the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and the physics of compact objects in astrophysics. A notable example is the kaon which plays a special roles in all the three fields. In this contribution, we present a transport model study of kaon production and flow in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies. We also discuss the effects of the kaon inmedium properties extracted from heavy-ion data on neutron star properties.

We study kaon production in hot and dense hypernuclear matter with a conserved zero total strangeness and a conserved small negative isospin charge fraction in order to make our results relevant to relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The baryons and kaons are treated as MIT bags in the context of the
