Axion star explosions: A new source for axion indirect detection

M Escudero, CK Pooni, M Fairbairn, D Blas, X Du… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
If dark matter is composed of axions, then axion stars form in the cores of dark matter halos.
These stars are unstable above a critical mass, decaying to radio photons that heat the …

Missing one-loop contributions in secondary gravitational waves

C Chen, A Ota, HY Zhu, Y Zhu - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We find several missing one-loop-order contributions in previous considerations about
secondary gravitational waves induced at nonlinear order in cosmological perturbations. We …
