abstract
We study the radio signals generated when an axion star enters the magnetosphere of a neutron star. As the axion star moves through the resonant region where the plasma-induced photon mass becomes equal to the axion mass, the axions can efficiently convert into photons, giving rise to an intense, transient radio signal. We show that a dense axion star with a mass $\sim 10^{-13}M_{\odot}$ composed of $\sim 10\: \mu$eV axions can account for most of the mysterious fast radio bursts.

Gravitational Wave Scattering on Magnetic Fields
In a 3D treatment of the inverse Gertsenshtein effect, an isotropic unpolarized gravitational wave background scattering off a dipolar magnetic field yields partially linearly polarized radio emission, with peak inten...

Searching for Axion Dark Matter Near Relaxing Magnetars
Resonant axion-to-photon conversion near magnetars could be observable with ALMA and SKA, but the predicted line strength and frequency depend heavily on which plasma model is correct.
