abstract
The decay of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) trapped in the solar gravitational field would contribute to the observed solar X-ray flux, hence constraining ALP models. We improve by one order of magnitude the existing limits in the parameter space $(g_{a\gamma\gamma}, m)$ by considering ALPs production via photon coalescence. For $g_{ae} \neq 0$, we demonstrate that trapped ALPs can be Compton-absorbed while crossing the Sun, resulting in two regimes in the exclusion limits, with a transition triggered by $g_{ae}$. Out of the transitional region, the solar X-ray constraints on ALPs are exclusively governed by $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$.

Small-instanton effects in an atlas of KSVZ axion models
Small-instanton contributions can dominate the QCD axion potential in KSVZ models with many vector-like quarks, raising m_a to tens of MeV and shifting the m_a-g_aγγ relation.

Axiverse Lampposts
In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

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.

NuSTAR bounds on radiatively decaying particles from M82
NuSTAR's non-detection of an X-ray halo from decaying axions around M82 excludes a previously allowed window of axion-photon coupling for 30-500 keV axion masses.
