MeV dark matter decay forecasts for the COSI mission

Robin Anthony-Petersen, Orion Ning, Yu Watanabe +21

The decay of dark matter (DM) is a generic prediction of many particle physics models, producing distinctive monochromatic signatures in environments such as the Galactic halo. Sea…

No Evidence for Superradiant Axions in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA GWTC-5 Binary Black Hole Spins

Orion Ning, Benjamin R. Safdi, Catherine Welch

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion and axion-like particles may form bound clouds around spinning black holes (BHs) when their Compton wavelength is comparable to the BH gravit…

Crowdsourcing Gravitational Waves from Superradiant Axions

Sebastian A. R. Ellis, Orion Ning, Nicholas L. Rodd +1

Black hole superradiance is a powerful probe of ultralight axions. If nature contains a boson with a mass of order eV, will lead to…

Blazar Constraints on Axions through New Spectral Modulation Searches in 1ES 1959+650 & B2 1811+31

Andrea Giovanni De Marchi, Orion Ning, Tianzhuo Xiao

Blazars are unique astrophysical environments whose high-energy -ray spectra are susceptible to modulations in the presence of ultralight axions. We search for these modulations…

Cosmological Neutron Stars Produce Diffuse Axion X-Ray Signatures

Orion Ning, Kailash Raman, Benjamin R. Safdi

Axion-like particles can be abundantly produced through scattering processes in the cores of neutron stars (NSs). If they are ultralight ( eV), then they can…

Axion lines from nuclear de-excitations in galactic stellar populations

Orion Ning, Anupam Ray, Benjamin R. Safdi

We show that mono-energetic axions are produced in abundance through nuclear de-excitations in nearby galaxies such as M87, which is the central galaxy of the Virgo cluster, and th…

Probing the Axion-Electron Coupling with NuSTAR Observations of Galaxies

Orion Ning, Benjamin R. Safdi

We search for the existence of ultralight axions coupling to electrons and photons using data from the NuSTAR telescope directed toward the galaxies M82, M87, and M31. We focus on…

Search for Axions from Magnetic White Dwarfs with Chandra

Orion Ning, Christopher Dessert, Vi Hong +1

Low mass axion-like particles could be produced in abundance within the cores of hot, compact magnetic white dwarf (MWD) stars from electron bremsstrahlung and converted to detecta…

Leading Axion-Photon Sensitivity with NuSTAR Observations of M82 and M87

Orion Ning, Benjamin R. Safdi

We perform the most sensitive search to-date for the existence of ultralight axions using data from the NuSTAR telescope. We search for stellar axion production in the M82 starburs…

Limits from the grave: resurrecting Hitomi for decaying dark matter and forecasting leading sensitivity for XRISM

Christopher Dessert, Orion Ning, Nicholas L. Rodd +1

The Hitomi X-ray satellite mission carried unique high-resolution spectrometers that were set to revolutionize the search for sterile neutrino dark matter (DM) by looking for narro…

Mu2e-II: Muon to electron conversion with PIP-II

K. Byrum, S. Corrodi, Y. Oksuzian +104

An observation of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) would be unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e and COMET experiments, under construction, ar…

Current constraints on deviations from General Relativity using binning in redshift and scale

Cristhian Garcia-Quintero, Mustapha Ishak, Orion Ning

We constrain deviations from general relativity (GR) including both redshift and scale dependencies in the modified gravity (MG) parameters. In particular, we employ the under-used…
