Green Bank and Effelsberg Radio Telescope Searches for Axion Dark Matter Conversion in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Joshua W. Foster, Yonatan Kahn, Oscar Macias +6
Axion dark matter (DM) may convert to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation in the strong magnetic fields around neutron stars. The radio signature of such a process would be a…

Detecting Axion Dark Matter with Radio Lines from Neutron Star Populations
Benjamin R. Safdi, Zhiquan Sun, Alexander Y. Chen
It has been suggested that radio telescopes may be sensitive to axion dark matter that resonantly converts to radio photons in the magnetospheres surrounding neutron stars (NSs). I…

Radio Signals from Axion Dark Matter Conversion in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Anson Hook, Yonatan Kahn, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
We show that axion dark matter (DM) may be detectable through narrow radio lines emitted from neutron stars. The neutron star magnetosphere hosts a strong magnetic field and a plas…
