Galaxy cluster counts from eRASS1 plus weak lensing data set the tightest existing upper bounds on ultralight axion relic density Ω_a around 10^{-27} eV (Ω_a < 0.0035) and 10^{-26} eV (Ω_a < 0.0079) at 95% CL.

New 95% confidence limits on mixed fuzzy dark matter mass and interacting dark matter cross sections are set using Milky Way satellites for beyond-CDM fractions down to 50%, with power-law weakening of bounds and forecasts for future surveys.
Lyman-alpha forest data yield m_FDM > 1.9e-21 eV (95% CL) for pure FDM and f_FDM upper limits of 0.07-0.65 for mixed FDM at log10(m_FDM/eV) = -23 to -21.
New upper limits on ultralight axion dark matter fraction (<1.5% at 10^{-26} eV, <9% at 10^{-25} eV at 95% CL) from combined CMB lensing data, plus marginal 2.1σ preference at 10^{-24.5} eV driven by few points.
Naive nonlinear modelling of non-cold matter produces an artificial preference for a subdominant ultralight axion dark matter component at m ≈ 10^{-24} eV via a lensing-like enhancement in the CMB power spectrum.

Lyman-$\alpha$ forest constraints on pure and mixed fuzzy dark matter
Lyman-alpha forest data yield m_FDM > 1.9e-21 eV (95% CL) for pure FDM and f_FDM upper limits of 0.07-0.65 for mixed FDM at log10(m_FDM/eV) = -23 to -21.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Probing new signatures of ultralight axions with gravitational lensing
New upper limits on ultralight axion dark matter fraction (<1.5% at 10^{-26} eV, <9% at 10^{-25} eV at 95% CL) from combined CMB lensing data, plus marginal 2.1σ preference at 10^{-24.5} eV driven by few points.

Ultra-light axion constraints from Planck and ACT: the role of nonlinear modelling
Naive nonlinear modelling of non-cold matter produces an artificial preference for a subdominant ultralight axion dark matter component at m ≈ 10^{-24} eV via a lensing-like enhancement in the CMB power spectrum.
