A jet-plus-corona model of NGC 1068, constrained by IceCube neutrinos, gives ALP-photon coupling limits g_aγ ≲ 7×10^-11 GeV^-1 for masses below 10^-9 eV, weaker than current bounds but offering a new multi-messenger route.

abstract
Axion Like Particles (ALPs) can be produced in Gamma Ray Bursts, altering the polarization of the electromagnetic emission in these events. For the first time, we derive bounds on the axion-photon coupling from polarization measurements of GRB 221009A, performing a full calculation of the Stokes parameters, as it is typically done in the astrophysics community. Within astrophysical uncertainties, our limits on the axion-photon coupling are competitive with complementary probes in the axion mass range $10^{-9}$ eV $\lesssim m_a \lesssim 10^{-8}$ eV, further allowing to probe motivated parameter space of ALP dark matter.
