The Hadwiger number of a topological disk in is the maximal number of pairwise nonoverlapping translates of that touch . It is well known that for a convex disk, this number is 6 or 8. A conjecture of A. Bezdek and K. and W. Kuperberg says that the Hadwiger number of a starlike disk is at most 8. Bezdek proved that this number is at most 75 for any starlike disk. In this note, we prove that the Hadwiger number of a starlike disk is at most 35. Furthermore, we show that the Hadwiger number of a topological disk such that is connected is 6 or 8.
