Localizing binary neutron stars with the Einstein Telescope: a full Bayesian comparison of the triangular and 2L configurations

Filippo Santoliquido, Jacopo Tissino, Marica Branchesi +1

The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European next-generation gravitational-wave observatory, is at a decisive stage: the choice of its detector configuration is still open, with profo…

Probing the Fundamental Nature of Particle Dark Matter

Marco Regis, Aritra Basu, Geoff Beck +7

Understanding the fundamental nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most significant scientific challenges of our time. A compelling hypothesis is that DM consists of a new, yet…

On the potential of pseudo-scalar dark energy

Andrea Minotti, Yunzhi Wu, Marco Regis

A cosmological pseudo-scalar field provides a compelling realization of dynamical dark energy (DE). If its coupling to photons is non-negligible, the cosmic microwave background ac…

NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope: probing axion-nucleon and axion-electron couplings

Tiziano Zanzarella, Francisco R. Candón, Maurizio Giannotti +5

We investigate solar X-ray observations as a probe of axions and axion-like particles. These particles can be produced in the interior of the Sun via the conversion of thermal phot…

Searching for dark matter X-ray lines from the Large Magellanic Cloud with eROSITA

Jorge Terol Calvo, Marco Taoso, Andrea Caputo +2

We perform a search for an X-ray monochromatic line arising from dark matter (DM) decay in the halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud. An emission line can be expected from two well-mo…

The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles

Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124

Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…

Searching for axion-like particles with SPHEREx

Marco Regis, Marco Taoso, Jorge Terol Calvo

We study prospects to detect axion-like particles (ALPs) with the upcoming near-infrared telescope SPHEREx. The signal under investigation is the ALP decay into two photons. Assumi…

Bounds on Axions-Like Particles Shining in the Ultra-Violet

Elisa Todarello, Marco Regis

Axion-like particles (ALPs) can decay into two photons with a rest-frame frequency given by half of the ALP mass. This implies that ultra-violet searches can be used to investigate…

NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope

J. Ruz, E. Todarello, J. K. Vogel +11

We present a novel approach to investigating axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) by studying their potential conversion into X-rays within the Sun's atmospheric magnetic field.…

The Sun as a target for axion dark matter detection

Elisa Todarello, Marco Regis, Marco Taoso +3

The exploration of the parameter space of axion and axion-like particle dark matter is a major aim of the future program of astroparticle physics investigations. In this context, w…

Constraints on the origin of the radio synchrotron background via angular correlations

Elisa Todarello, Marco Regis, Federico Bianchini +7

The origin of the radio synchrotron background (RSB) is currently unknown. Its understanding might have profound implications in fundamental physics or might reveal a new class of…

Anatomy of astrophysical echoes from axion dark matter

Elisa Todarello, Francesca Calore, Marco Regis

If the dark matter in the Universe is made of eV axion-like particles (ALPs), then a rich phenomenology can emerge in connection to their stimulated decay into two photons. We d…
