Photon-axion mixing in thermal emission of isolated neutron stars

Photon-axion mixing in thermal emission of isolated neutron stars

Thermally emitting neutron stars represent a promising environment for probing the properties of axion-like particles. Due to the strong magnetic fields of these sources, surface photons may partially convert into such particles in a large magnetospheric region surrounding the stars, which will resu...
