Neutron stars with exceptionally light QCD axions

Дата публикации: 27-08-2026 00:00:00

We present a comprehensive study of axion condensed neutron stars that arise in models of an exceptionally light axion that couples to quantum chromodynamics (QCD). These axions solve the strong-charge-parity ( ) problem, but have a mass-squared lighter than that due to QCD by a factor of . Inside dense matter, the axion potential is altered, and much of the matter in neutron stars resides in the axion condensed phase where the strong- parameter and remains a good symmetry. In these regions, masses and interactions of nucleons are modified, in turn changing the equation of state (EOS), structure, and phenomenology of the neutron stars. We take the first steps toward the study of the EOS of neutron star matter at within chiral effective field theory and use relativistic mean field theory to deduce the resulting changes to nuclear matter and the neutron star low-density EOS. We derive constraints on the exceptionally light axion parameter space based on observations of the...
