Invisible ${{\mathit A}^{0}}$ (Axion) Limits from Photon Coupling

INSPIRE   JSON PDGID:
S029IAG
Limits are for the modulus of the axion-two-photon coupling $\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}$ defined by $\mathit L~=~−\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}\phi _{\mathit A}\mathbf {E}\mathbf {\cdot{}}\mathbf {B}$. For scalars ${{\mathit S}^{0}}$ the limit is on the coupling constant in $\mathit L~=~\mathit G_{{{\mathit S}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}\phi _{S}(\mathbf {E}{}^{2}−\mathbf {B}{}^{2}$). The relation between $\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}$ and ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ is not used unless stated otherwise, i.e., many of these bounds apply to low-mass axion-like particles (ALPs), not to QCD axions.

1  ABRAHAM 2025 search for axions as a long-lived particle decaying into photons in the FASER detector at the LHC. They constrain models where the axion dominantly couples to ${{\mathit W}}$ bosons. The quoted limit is from their Fig. 11, which shows the bound interpreted in terms of a coupling to photons, taking the value at a mass of 70 MeV where the constraint is strongest. Bounds on the axion-gluon coupling extend up to axion masses of up to 800 MeV.
2  ADAMS 2025C present a search for ALP-photon mixing imprinted on the gamma-ray spectrum of the flaring NGC 1275 radio galaxy at the centre of the Perseus cluster observed by the VERITAS observatory. They adopt the CLs method for reporting exclusion limits as shown in their Fig. 3. No point in the tested parameter space is excluded at or above 95$\%$ confidence. The quoted limit is reached at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = $3.03 \times 10^{-7}$ eV.
3  ALTENMULLER 2025 primarily reports a new limit from the CAST helioscope on the product of the axion-photon and axion-electron coupling, but they also exploit the same analysis to set a new limit on the axion-photon coupling alone, although this is weaker than their previous limit in ALTENMULLER 2024.
4  CANDON 2025 place bounds on heavy photon-coupled axion-like particles produced in the interiors of the stars in the starburst galaxy M82 and then decaying to two photons. This process would generate an X-ray flux peaking around 100 keV, which they search for using data from the NuSTAR space telescope. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
5  CHEN 2025 use data from X-ray satellites Chandra and eROSITA to search for the decays of axion-like particles produced by the Alpha Centauri binary system. Specifically, they consider the argument also used by BEAUFORT 2023 in the case of the Sun, in which axions emitted with low speed from the star can build up in a gravitationally trapped 'basin' over the star's life. See their Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits. The quoted value applies to the case where the axion-electron coupling is taken to be negligible.
6  CHEN 2025A constrain low-mass axion-like particles by searching for the imprints of axion-photon oscillations on the gamma-ray spectra of two active galactic nuclei measured by the Fermi and MAGIC gamma-ray telescopes. See their Fig. 11 for mass-dependent limits.
7  CHEN 2025B constrain low-mass axion-like particles by searching for the imprints of axion-photon oscillations on the gamma-ray spectra of several blazars observed by the Fermi gamma-ray telescope. See Figs. 2, 3 and 4 for mass-dependent limits.
8  FONG 2025 use early-release data from the eROSITA X-ray telescope's Final Equatorial Depth Survey to search for axion-like particle dark matter decaying to two photons in the Milky Way's dark matter halo. See their Fig. 7 for mass-dependent limits.
9  GOLDSTEIN 2025 place bounds on low mass axions mixing with photons over cosmological distances as they traverse large-scale structure, which would lead to an observable patchy screening effect in CMB anisotropy maps. See their Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits. This bound is analogous to that placed on dark photons by MCCARTHY 2024.
10  HAYRAPETYAN 2025Z places a bound on heavy axion-like particles coupled to photons via measurements of light-by-light scattering in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at the CMS experiment. The bound is based on a search for diphoton events due to ${{\mathit \gamma}}$ ${{\mathit \gamma}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit a}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \gamma}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ on top of the light-by-light scattering continuum. See Fig. 9 for mass-dependent limits on the axion-photon coupling.
11  JANISH 2025 use blank-sky observations of the James Webb Space Telescope to search for dark matter axions present in the galactic halo. eV-mass axions decaying into two photons would present an emission line in the infrared band. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
12  KAR 2025 use infrared to ultraviolet observations of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 to search for evidence of eV-scale axions decaying to two photons, assuming they make up the dark matter halo of the galaxy. See their Fig. 2, 3 and 4 for mass-dependent limits.
13  KIRITA 2025 presents a new result from the SAPPHIRES collaboration, namely a search for the production of axion-like particles in a quasi-parallel stimulated resonant photon-photon collider. See their Fig. 11 for mass-dependent limits.
14  LI 2025D search for evidence of axion-photon mixing imprinted on the gamma-ray spectrum of the flat-spectrum radio quasar Ton-599 detected by Fermi-LAT. See their Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
15  MIRZAKHANI 2025 search for axion-like particles coupled to photons using the MINER reactor neutrino experiment. Their search assumes axions would be produced via Primakoff emission from the reactor photon flux, which can then decay to two photons or convert to a photon through the inverse Primakoff effect in the detector. See Fig. 10 for mass-dependent limits.
16  NING 2025 sets bounds on low-mass axion-like particle Primakoff emission by stars in the M87 and M82 starburst galaxies. They use data from the NuSTAR space telescope to search for evidence of the emitted axions converting into hard X-ray photons in the surrounding galactic magnetic fields. See Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
17  PARK 2025 present a search for axion-like particles from the NEON reactor neutrino experiment. Axions would be produced by the large MeV photon flux from the reactor and subsequently scatter or decay to a photon pair in the detector. The quoted limit is at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 3 MeV. See their Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits.
18  RUZ 2025 use data from the NuSTAR X-ray telescope to search for solar axions converting into photons as they traverse the Sun's atmospheric magnetic field. For larger ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$, the limit becomes weaker due to loss of coherence in the conversion. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
19  TODARELLO 2025 use observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and galaxy clusters made by the Hubble Space Telescope to constrain axions decaying to two photons at UV wavelengths, assuming axions make up the dark matter halos of those astrophysical objects. See their Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits.
20  TROITSKY 2025 searches for evidence of any anomalous cooling due to axion emission from red giants and helium-burning stars in seven globular clusters observed by the Gaia survey. A 3.3$\sigma $ hint for anomalous cooling is found, which could be explained by a non-zero axion-photon coupling.
21  YIN 2025 use the WINERED spectrograph on the Magellan Clay Telescope to search for evidence of dark matter axions decaying into photons in the halos of the Leo V and Tucana II dwarf spheroidal galaxies. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits and the dependence on the assumed dark matter halo models.
22  ZENG 2025 place a bound on axions emitted by the Sun due to a nonzero axion-photon coupling using electronic recoil data collected by the PandaX detector. Electron recoil events are generated via the axion-photon coupling by the inverse Primakoff effect. The limit is independent of the axion mass up to around the core temperature of the Sun.
23  ABLIKIM 2024AD constrain the axion-photon coupling through radiative ${{\mathit J / \psi}}$ decays in the BESIII detector at the Beijing electron-positron collider. See their Fig. 5 for mass-dependent limits.
24  ALTENMULLER 2024 report an extended search for solar axions using the CAST experiment. The experiment employed a new xenon-based microMEGAS detector - a pathfinder for the future International Axion Observatory (IAXO). This limit improves upon ANASTASSOPOULOS 2017. See Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
25  DEV 2024 use Fermi gamma-ray observations of the neutron star merger GW170817 to constrain the production and subsequent decay of high-mass axion-like particles. Constraint extends diagonally in mass-coupling space, reaching $7 \times 10^{-12}$ GeV${}^{-1}$ at 100 MeV. See Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
26  DIAMOND 2024 use multi-messenger observations of the neutron star merger GW170817 to constrain the production and radiative decay of axions in the event. Limits shown in their Fig. 3 extend diagonally in mass-coupling space.
27  FORDHAM 2024 use asteroseismology observations of a solar-like star, KIC 6933899, to constrain axion emission from its interior via the photon coupling. Bound applies to all axion masses up to around the core temperature of the star $\sim{}$keV.
28  GAO 2024 constrain ALP-photon oscillations via their imprint on the gamma-ray spectrum of the blazar Mrk 421, as observed by MAGIC and Fermi-LAT. See their Fig. 5 for mass-dependent limits.
29  GAO 2024A constrain ALP-photon oscillations using the high-energy gamma-ray spectrum observed by LHAASO of the brightest gamma-ray burst so far detected, GRB 221009A. See their Fig. 5 for mass-dependent limits. The strength of the limit depends on the magnetic field of the host galaxy.
30  GUO 2024 search for axion dark matter decaying or converting into photons in the Coma Berenices dwarf galaxy using the radio telescope FAST. The quoted limit is for the case of axions decaying, including stimulated emission. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
31  LI 2024A constrain the imprint of ALP-photon oscillations on the TeV gamma-ray spectrum of the BL Lac blazar 1ES 1215+303 using VERITAS and Fermi-LAT data. See their Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
32  LI 2024B constrain the imprint of ALP-photon oscillations on the very-high-energy gamma-ray spectrum of various galactic sources detected by the LHAASO air-shower array. Best limits are obtained from the Crab Nebula after combining several observations from different gamma-ray observatories in addition to LHAASO. See their Fig. 5 for mass-dependent limits.
33  LI 2024D search for evidence of axion-photon oscillations imprinted on the gamma-ray spectrum of the nearby BL Lac blazar Markarian 421. They set upper limits using data from Fermi-LAT and HAWC. The quoted limit applies for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $3 \times 10^{-9}$ eV. See their Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits.
34  MANZARI 2024 search for evidence of axions produced in SN1987A converting into gamma-rays that would have been detectable by the Solar Maximum Mission. This analysis improves upon previous studies of axion-photon conversion after SN1987A (e.g. HOOF 2023) by including the magnetic field of the progenitor star. Quoted limit applies for masses below 0.1 neV and rises towards larger masses. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
35  PANT 2024 searches for the imprint of axion-photon oscillations in the very-high-energy gamma-ray spectrum of the quasar QSO B1420+326 observed by the MAGIC telescope. Three small disconnected regions of mass-coupling parameter space below 1 neV are ruled out. See Fig. 4 for the limits.
36  PYBUS 2024 report results from the GlueX detector, which has searched for the two-photon decay of heavy axions produced through the nuclear Primakoff effect due to a beam of photons incident on a Carbon target. See their Fig. 8 for mass-dependent limits.
37  RAVENSBURG 2024 search for heavy axions decaying to two photons using the recent nearby type-II supernova SN 2023ixf. Constraint extends diagonally downwards in mass-coupling space, see their Fig. 2 for full limits. Quoted limit is the most constraining point for the most conservative choices for supernova parameters.
38  TODARELLO 2024 search for axions decaying to two photons in the halos of Milky Way dwarf galaxies observed in the MUSE-Faint survey. This study improves upon an earlier one presented in REGIS 2021. See their Fig. 5 for compiled mass-dependent limits.
39  WANG 2024A search for axions decaying into two photons assuming that they make up the dark matter halos of galaxies. They use data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, searching for the axion decay line in optical wavelengths with their Bright Galaxy and Luminous Red Galaxy samples. See their Fig. 8 for mass-dependent limits on the axion to photon decay rate. Their constraint is quoted as a 5$\sigma $ detection limit.
40  BATTYE 2023 look for dark-matter axions falling into pulsar magnetospheres and converting into narrow radio lines. Unlike the earlier FOSTER 2022 they search for evidence of conversion in the time-domain signal of a single pulsar, using 1 hour of MeerKAT data on the pulsar PSR J2144-3933. The quoted limit applies to an assumed magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{12}$ G and a dark matter density of 0.45 GeV/cm${}^{3}$.
41  BEAUFORT 2023 extends DEROCCO 2022 who searched for the X-ray decay of axions that build up in the gravitational well of the Sun over its lifetime, the 'solar basin'. They use data from NuSTAR and SphinX telescopes and extends the previous study by accounting for the axion production via photon coalescence.
42  BERNAL 2023 use gamma-ray data from 739 blazars observed by FermiLAT and 38 blazars by Cherenkov observatories. They estimate optical depth, subtract the astrophysical component, and attribute the residual to axion two-photon decay. The quoted limit is for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ 25 eV. See their Fig. 3 for the mass-dependent limits.
43  CAPOZZI 2023 use Planck CMB and Lyman-$\alpha $ observations to set limits on early energy injection by decaying dark matter axions that would affect CMB anisotropies and the reionisation history of the Universe. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 100 eV and the reionization model of Fauchere-Giguere. See Fig. 4 for mass-dependent constraints from different reionization models.
44  CAPOZZI 2023A search for axions produced in electromagnetic showers in proton beam dumps and fixed target experiments. In this case, they reinterpret MiniBoone data. Quoted limit applies at 100 MeV but the limit does not extend to arbitrarily large couplings. See Fig. 7 for mass-dependent limits.
45  DAVIES 2023 is analogous to AJELLO 2016, and use the Fermi-LAT data from three quasars (3C454.3, CTA 102, and 3C279), considering the blazer jets as the regions where the axion-photon oscillations occur. See Fig. 8 for the mass-dependent limits.
46  DIAMOND 2023 demonstrate that a window of decaying 10-MeV-mass ALP parameter space previously thought to be excluded by the lack of gamma-ray emission from the SN 1987A explosion is actually unconstrained because of the formation of a fireball that would prevent decay photons from escaping. They nevertheless re-exclude this window by considering the non-detection of the sub-MeV emission by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. The quoted limit is at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 56 MeV. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
47  FILZINGER 2023 searched for oscillations in the fine structure constant induced by dilaton-like dark matter by measuring the frequency ratio between the E3 and E2 transitions of ${}^{171}\mathrm {Yb}{}^{+}$. They assume the local dark matter density ${{\mathit \rho}_{{{S}}}}$ = 0.4 GeV/cm${}^{3}$. The quoted limit is set at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit S}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $4 \times 10^{-23}$ eV. See their Fig. 4 for the limits over ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit S}^{0}}}$ = $1 \times 10^{-24} - 1 \times 10^{-17}$ eV.
48  HOOF 2023 consider axions emitted from SN1987A converting to gamma rays in Galactic magnetic fields, using temporal information of the Solar Maximum Mission data. They set a limit $\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}{ {}\lesssim{} }$ $5 \times 10^{-12}$ for masses ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}{ {}\lesssim{} }$ $2 \times 10^{-10}$ eV. See left panel in Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits.
49  HOOF 2023 look for gamma rays resulting from the decay of axions produced from SN1987A, using the Solar Maximum Mission data. See right panel in Fig. 3 for mass-dependent limits.
50  JACOBSEN 2023 search for the imprints of axion-photon mixing on the TeV spectra of several blazars using data from the HAWC air shower detector.
51  LI 2023H look for gamma-ray spectral irregularities induced by axion-photon oscillations from AGN VER J0521+211, using the Fermi-LAT and VERITAS data. See their Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
52  NOORDHUIS 2023 places strong constraints on the axion-photon coupling over a broad mass window using the fact that the polar cap regions of pulsars can generate a population of axions, which would then convert into an observable outgoing radio flux in the presence of the neutron star's B-field. They search for this signal in 27 pulsars and set mass-dependent limits shown in their Fig. 2.
53  PANT 2023 study the effect of axion-photon oscillations on the gamma-ray spectrum from the extragalactic neutrino source, TXS 0506+056. The quoted limit is at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $2.7 \times 10^{-7}$ eV. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
54  SHERRILL 2023 search for scalar dilaton-like dark matter via oscillations in the fundamental constants. Their most competitive constraint is on the scalar photon coupling (Fig. 6, upper panel) that affects the fine-structure constant, which they extract using an optical-to-optical clock comparison between ${}^{171}\mathrm {Yb}{}^{+}$ and ${}^{87}\mathrm {Sr}$. Quoted limit applies at the smallest mass in their search window for this case of $10^{-20}$ eV.
55  SULAI 2023 looked for ultralight axion dark matter using the ``Earth as a transducer" concept over the 0.5 to 5 Hz frequency range. They situate several magnetometers at magnetically quiet places and search for spatially-correlated magnetic field patterns induced by axion dark matter interacting in the effective cavity formed between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere. See their Fig. 12 for mass-dependent limits in context. This limit extends to higher-frequencies than their previous limit using archival geomagnetic field data collected by the SuperMAG collaboration, see ARZA 2022
56  YAO 2023 study an optical circular polarization in blazers induced by the axion-photon mixing. The quoted limit assumes the transverse magnetic field at the jet's emission site, with $\mathit B_{T}$ = 1 G, and this limit inversely scales with $\mathit B_{T}$. See their Fig. 3 for the limits' dependence on $\mathit B_{T}$ and electron density.
57  ZHANG 2023A searched for oscillations in the fine structure constant induced by dilaton-like dark matter by measuring the frequencies of a hyperfine-structure transition in ${}^{87}\mathrm {Rb}$ and an electronic transition in ${}^{164}\mathrm {Dy}$, and by comparing them with that of a quartz oscillator. They assume the local dark matter density ${{\mathit \rho}_{{{S}}}}$ $\simeq{}$ 0.4 GeV/cm${}^{3}$. The quoted limit is set at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit S}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $1 \times 10^{-17}$ eV. See their Fig. 3 for the limits over ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit S}^{0}}}$ = $1 \times 10^{-17} - 8.3 \times 10^{-13}$ eV.
58  APRILE 2022B is an update of APRILE 2020 based on a similar solar axion modeling to DENT 2020A and GAO 2020. They exclude the XENON1T excess found in APRILE 2020. The quoted limit holds for small $\mathit g_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit e}} {{\mathit e}}}$. See Fig. 6 for correlation between $\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}$ and $\mathit g_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit e}} {{\mathit e}}}$.
59  ARNQUIST 2022 is analogous to AVIGNONE 1998, and supersedes ANASTASSOPOULOS 2017 for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}{ {}\gtrsim{} }$ 1.2 eV.
60  ARZA 2022 search for low-mass axions as dark matter using the Earth as a transducer for axion-photon conversion. The concept works because the region between the Earth and the ionosphere forms an insulating cavity that parametrically enhances the axion signal by the radius of the Earth. The result is an oscillating and spatially correlated magnetic field induced via the interaction between axion dark matter and the geomagnetic field, which they searched for using archival magnetometer field data over 20 years compiled by the SuperMAG collaboration. Quoted limit applies for masses $3 - 4 \times 10^{-17}$ eV, see Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
61  BERNAL 2022 explored the possibility that the excess in the cosmic optical background measured by New Horizonss Long Range Reconnaisance Imager was due to axion dark matter decaying into monoenergetic photons. See their Fig. 2 for the axion-photon coupling to explain the excess.
62  CALORE 2022 update CALORE 2020 by evaluating axion fluxes from progenitors of various masses and performing a template-based analysis using 12 years of Fermi-LAT data in the energy range from 50 MeV to 500 GeV. See their Fig. 10 for mass-dependent limits.
63  CAPUTO 2022 study the effect of energy deposition by radiative decay of axions produced via the Primakoff process and photon coalescence in the supernova core, and set the limits by the radiative energy deposition $<$ $10^{50}$ erg and progenitor radius = $5 \times 10^{13}$ cm. The quoted limit is at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 150 MeV. See their Fig. 2 for mass-dependent limits.
64  CASTILLO 2022 update CAPUTO 2019 using the polarization measurements of the Crab Pulsar by the QUIJOTE MFI instrument and 20 Galactic pulsars from the PPTA project. See their Table 1 for the assumed local axion energy density ${{\mathit \rho}_{{{A}}}}$ for each pulsar and their Fig. 7 for the mass-dependent limits in the range of $3 \times 10^{-23}$ eV ${}\leq{}{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}{}\leq{}$ $10^{-19}$ eV.
65  DEROCCO 2022 uses the NuSTAR data to search for monochromatic X-ray lines produced by the decay of solar axions trapped on bound orbits. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ 9 keV. They also derive limits in the plane of $\mathit g_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit e}} {{\mathit e}}}$ and $\mathit G_{{{\mathit A}} {{\mathit \gamma}} {{\mathit \gamma}}}$. See their Figs. 2 and 4 for mass-dependent limits.
66  DESSERT 2022A look for an axion-induced linear polarization using data from multiple magnetic white dwarf stars. See their Figs. 1 and 8 for the mass-dependent limits.
67  ECKNER 2022 set limits by using sub-PeV diffuse gamma-ray data from HAWC and Tibet AS${{\mathit \gamma}}$ by assuming that gamma rays produced simultaneously with high-energy neutrinos from extragalactic sources suggested by IceCube are converted to axions in the magnetic field at the source and reconverted to gamma rays in the Galactic magnetic field. See their Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
68  FOSTER 2022 is an update of FOSTER 2020 in the list of limits on relic invisible axions. They search for axion-photon transitions generated by neutron stars in the Galactic center region. They use improved population models of the Galactic center neutron stars and a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) model of the galactic dark matter distribution. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $17 - 25$ $\mu $eV. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
69  KIRITA 2022 update HOMMA 2021 by increasing the laser energy and developing a background discrimination method using the beam cross-section dependence of the background originated from optical elements. The quoted limits applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 0.18 eV. See their Fig. 11 for mass-dependent limits.
70  LANGHOFF 2022 set limits by considering the freeze-in production of axions coupled only to photons. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ = 2 MeV for the reheating temperature equal to 5 MeV. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
71  LI 2022 is analogous to LI 2021B, and use the spectra of the blazar FSRQ 4C+21.35 measured by MAGIC, VERITAS, and Fermi-LAT. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $8 \times 10^{-10}$ eV. See their Fig. 1 for mass-dependent limits.
72  LI 2022C is analogous to LI 2021B, and use the spectra of the blazars Mrk 421 and PG 1553+113 measured by MAGIC and Fermi-LAT. The quoted limit applies to ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit A}^{0}}}$ $\simeq{}$ $1 \times 10^{-8}$ eV. See their Fig. 4 for mass-dependent limits.
73  LUCENTE 2022 developed a method to correctly incorporate the effects of axions decaying into photons inside the core of horizontal-branch stars. They update CARENZA 2020 by evaluating axion energy transfer in the range of axion mean free path where the diffusive energy transport and free streaming approximations are not applicable. See their Fig. 1 for the limits.
74  BASU 2021 searched for birefringence induced by axion dark matter using multiple images of the polarized source in the strongly gravitationally lensed system CLASS B1152+199. They assume the axion makes up all dark matter, and used the axion density in the emitting region, ${{\mathit \rho}_{{{A}}}}$ = 20 GeV/cm${}^{3}$.
