The Impact of Axion-Like Particles on Late Stellar Evolution From Intermediate-Mass Stars to core-collapse Supernova Progenitors
Inmacolata DomÃnguez, Oscar Straniero, Luciano Piersanti +2
Context. Stars with masses ranging from 3 to 11 M_\odot exhibit multiple evolutionary paths. Less massive stars in this range conclude their evolution as carbon-oxygen (CO) white d…
Probing axion-like particles with multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be copiously produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers through nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung if the ALP-nucleon couplings are sizable…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…
Axion Astrophysics
Pierluca Carenza, Maurizio Giannotti, Jordi Isern +2
Stars have been recognized as optimal laboratories to probe axion properties. In the last decades there have been significant advances in this field due to a better modelling of st…
Probing protoneutron stars with gamma-ray axionscopes
Alessandro Lella, Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons can be efficiently produced in the interior of protoneutron stars (PNS) during supernova (SN) explosions. If these ALPs are also cou…
