  5. ✨During the #Christmas season, we often think of #wonders and the invisibleπŸͺ„ that connects our world. Did you know that scientists are searching for an invisible wonder - but in the #universe? 🌌 #Axions, the promising candidates for Dark Matter (DM)πŸ–€, are ultra-light particles with masses around 10⁻²² eV and wavelengths of about one kiloparsec (~ 3x10¹⁢ km).

    Particles with similar properties to axions are called "axion-like particles" (ALPs). πŸ’‘ALPs, which include ultra-light axions, can alter #light polarization – meaning the alignment of #lightwaves. During an internship with us, Sarah searched for such phenomena in low-frequency #LOFAR data πŸ“‘ from the pulsar PSR J0332+5434. Low frequenciesπŸ“‰ are ideal, as the ionosphere – an electron layer in the Earth's atmosphere 🌍, caused by solar radiation – creates interference that can be removed from low-frequency LOFAR data through calibration.

    According to theories, axions apperars in strong magnetic fields, such as in #stellar cores, where they can escape because they interact very weakly with normal matter. Just like DM πŸ–€.

    Similarly, pulsars have extremely strong static magnetic fields. When cosmic ALPs enter a strong #magneticfield, they can be converted into photons – that is, light 🌟 – and thus become detectable, if ultra-light axions exist.

    Currently, there are three methods for searching for ALPs:
    1️⃣ Helioscopes for solar ALPs (e.g. IAXO, πŸ–₯️ 1) β˜€οΈ,
    2️⃣ Haloscope searches in the galactic halo 🌌 (e.g. observing radiopulsars, πŸ–₯️ 2), and
    3️⃣ Generating ALPs in the lab πŸ”¬ (e.g. ALPS II, @DESY , πŸ–₯️ 3).
