We study the effects of exceptionally light QCD axions on the stellar configuration of white dwarfs. At finite baryon density, the non-derivative coupling of the axion to nucleons displaces the axion from its in-vacuum minimum which implies a reduction of the nucleon mass. This dramatically alters the composition of stellar remnants. In particular, the modifications of the mass-radius relationship of white dwarfs allow us to probe large regions of unexplored parameter space without requiring that axions are dark matter.

Constraining axion quadratic couplings with the Hulse-Taylor binary system
Orbital timing of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar gives the strongest published limits on quadratic axion-muon couplings for axion masses below about 10^-12 eV, and complementary limits on axion-neutron and axion-elect...

Probing Quadratically Coupled Ultralight Dark Matter with Pulsar Timing Arrays
For quadratically coupled ultralight dark matter, pulsar timing arrays can set competitive coherent-signal limits at 10^-24–10^-22 eV, while stochastic-signal limits remain weaker than equivalence-principle constraint...
