abstract
Ultralight axion like particles (ALPs) of mass $m_a\in (10^{-21}\rm{eV}-10^{-22}\rm{eV})$ with axion decay constant $f_a\sim 10^{17}\rm{GeV}$ can be candidates for fuzzy dark matter (FDM). If celestial bodies like Earth and Sun are immersed in a low mass axionic FDM potential and if the ALPs have coupling with nucleons then the coherent oscillation of the axionic field results a long range axion hair outside of the celestial bodies. The range of the axion mediated Yukawa type fifth force is determined by the distance between the Earth and the Sun which fixes the upper bound of the mass of axion as $m_a\lesssim10^{-18}\rm{eV}$. The long range axionic Yukawa potential between the Earth and Sun changes the gravitational potential between them and contribute to the light bending and the Shapiro time delay. From the observational uncertainties of those experiments, we put an upper bound on the axion decay constant as $f_a\lesssim 9.85\times 10^{6}\rm{GeV}$, which is the stronger bound obtained from Shapiro time delay. This implies if ALPs are FDM, then they do not couple to nucleons.

Probing nonlinear electrodynamics-sourced black holes via light and orbital mechanics
For ModMax black holes, Shapiro time delay and gravitational redshift are identical for both photon polarizations, while Sagnac and kinematic shifts distinguish them; S2 precession bounds e^-gamma (Q/2M)^2 <= 0.135.
