Relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to study matter at 2-3 times nuclear ground state density (similar as expected for neutron star merger) in the laboratory.
In particular, mesons and baryons containing strange quarks are promising probes with some relevance for various astrophysical processes. However, heavy-ion collisions are highly dynamical processes and therefore it is difficult to directly address fundamental aspects.
Using new data from HADES I will review the description of various hadronic observables based on macroscopic and microscopic models.
