论文摘要

轴轴暗物质(DM)可以在中子星周围的强磁场中转换为射频电磁辐射。这种过程的无线电特征将是由轴粒子质量确定的频率的超鼻中光谱峰。 We analyze data we collected from the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in the L-band and the Effelsberg 100-m Telescope in the L-Band and S-band from a number of sources expected to produce bright signals of axion-photon conversion, including the Galactic Center of the Milky Way and the nearby isolated neutron stars RX J0720.4-3125 and RX J0806.4-4123.我们找不到轴DM的证据,并且能够在〜5-11 $μ$ eV之间的斧头DM上设置一些最强的约束。

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 an ultra-narrow spectral peak at a frequency determined by the mass of the axion particle. We analyze data we collected from the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in the L-band and the Effelsberg 100-m Telescope in the L-Band and S-band from a number of sources expected to produce bright signals of axion-photon conversion, including the Galactic Center of the Milky Way and the nearby isolated neutron stars RX J0720.4-3125 and RX J0806.4-4123. We find no evidence for axion DM and are able to set some of the strongest constraints to-date on the existence of axion DM in the highly-motivated mass range between ~5-11 $μ$eV.
