We study the parameter space of cold dark matter axions in two cosmological scenarios with non-standard thermal histories before Big Bang nucleosynthesis: the Low Temperature Reheating (LTR) cosmology and the kination cosmology. If the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaks during inflation, we find more allowed parameter space in the LTR cosmology than in the standard cosmology and less in the kination cosmology. On the contrary, if the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaks after inflation, the Peccei-Quinn scale is orders of magnitude higher than standard in the LTR cosmology and lower in the kination cosmology. We show that the axion velocity dispersion may be used to distinguish some of these non-standard cosmologies. Thus, axion cold dark matter may be a good probe of the history of the Universe before Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

Catalogues of Cosmologically Self-Consistent Hadronic QCD Axion Models
Hadronic axion models with d=6 and d=7 heavy-quark decay operators can produce two new cosmologically viable 'islands' at f_a ~ 10^12 and 10^14 GeV, extending the post-inflationary axion search window.

Constraining the axiverse with reionization
Roughly 10 to 15 percent of explicit string theory axiverse models are disfavored by CMB reionization data unless reheating stayed below about 10^10 GeV.

Axion misalignment with memory-burdened PBH
Axion dark matter parameter space shifts dramatically when kinetic misalignment and memory-burdened primordial black hole evaporation are combined.
