We have made a search for Fe-57 gamma rays of energy 14.4 keV induced by resonant absorption of monochromatic solar axions, as proposed by Moriyama. The proposed axions are suggested to be emitted from the Sun, in M1 transitions between the first, thermally excited state and the ground state of Fe-57. An upper limit on hadronic axion mass of 745 eV is obtained at the 95% confidence level, it being assumed that z=0.56 and S=0.5.

Solar Axions from Nuclear Transitions
Solar axion fluxes from 57Fe and 83Kr nuclear transitions differ by three orders of magnitude, yielding stronger constraints on |g_aN^eff × g_aγγ| and g_aγγ vs. m_a from Chandrayaan-2 XSM data for iron.
