We derive supernova (SN) bounds on muon-philic bosons, taking advantage of the recent emergence of muonic SN models. Our main innovations are to consider scalars $\phi$ in addition to pseudoscalars $a$ and to include systematically the…
In this work, for the first time, we use seismic data as well as surface abundances to model the supergiant $\alpha$-Ori, with the goal of setting an upper bound on the axion-photon coupling constant $g_{a\gamma}$. We found that, in…

A particular class of variant axion models with two higgs doublets and a singlet is studied. In these models the axion couples either to the $u$-quark or $t$-quark or both, but not to $b$, $c$, $s$, or $d$. When the axion couples to only…

Ultralight axion-like particles can contribute to the dark matter near the Sun, leading to a distinct, stochastic signature in terrestrial experiments. We search for such particles through their neutron-spin coupling by re-analyzing…

Axions could be a component of the dark matter and are of great interest for particle physics. If present, their interaction with magnetic fields in the solar photosphere should produce a polarization signal of real photons, whose amplitude…

In view of the ongoing galactic (or cosmic) axion detection experiments, we compare the axion-photon-photon coupling $c_{a\gamma\gamma}$'s for various invisible (or very light) axion models.

We find the following improved laboratory bounds on the coupling of light pseudoscalars to protons and neutrons: $g_p^2/4\pi < 1.7 \times 10^{-9}$ and $g_n^2/4\pi < 6.8 \times 10^{-8}$. The limit on $g_p$ arises since a nonzero $g_p$ would…
We constrain the coupling of thermally-produced axion-like particles (here axions) with photons and gluons, using data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectra and baryon acoustic oscillations. The axion possesses an explicit soft…
