A finite axion-nucleon coupling, nearly unavoidable for QCD axions, leads to the production of axions via the thermal excitation and subsequent de-excitation of Fe-57 isotopes in the sun. We revise the solar bound on this flux adopting the up to date emission rate, and investigate the sensitivity of the proposed International Axion Observatory IAXO and its intermediate stage BabyIAXO to detect these axions. We compare different realistic experimental options and discuss the model dependence of the signal. Already BabyIAXO has sensitivity far beyond previous solar axion searches via the nucleon coupling and IAXO can improve on this by more than an order of magnitude.

  1. The topological susceptibility slope $\chi^\prime$ in the large-$N$ limit

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    First non-perturbative lattice determination of the Yang-Mills topological susceptibility slope χ' in the large-N limit using a novel algorithm to avoid topological freezing.

  2. Solar axion searches with RES-NOVA: projected sensitivity and first prototype limit

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    RES-NOVA's projected 1 ton-year sensitivity reaches within a factor of ~2 of XENONnT on the solar-axion electron coupling, and a 32.4 g-day archaeological-lead prototype excludes new parts of the (g_ae, g_aγ) plane.

  3. Revisiting Turner Window Axions: The Untapped Potential of NaI Dark Matter Detectors

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Revised supernova opacity modeling reopens the Turner window for hadronically coupled axions, enabling resonant absorption searches in NaI detectors for couplings |g_app| between 10^{-6.5} and 10^{-2}.

  4. Axion lines from nuclear de-excitations in galactic stellar populations

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    No 14.4 keV axion line from 57Fe de-excitations is seen by NuSTAR toward M87, M82, M31, or the Galactic Center, yielding |g_ann x g_aγγ| < 1.1e-22 GeV^-1 for m_a < 1e-10 eV.

  5. NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope: probing axion-nucleon and axion-electron couplings

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    NuSTAR solar minimum data sets g_ae · g_aγ ≲ 1.1×10^{-24} GeV^{-1} and g_aN^eff · g_aγ ≲ 2.3×10^{-19} GeV^{-1} at 95% CL for m_a ≲ 10^{-6} eV.

  6. Looking for Lights from the Darkness: Signals from MeV-scale Solar Axion-like Particles

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Solar axion-like particles up to 5.5 MeV produce off-axis MeV photons via two-body decay, enabling new space and terrestrial searches that could probe g_aγ down to 10^{-12} GeV^{-1}.

  7. Solar Axions from Nuclear Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Solar axion fluxes from 57Fe and 83Kr nuclear transitions differ by three orders of magnitude, yielding stronger constraints on |g_aN^eff × g_aγγ| and g_aγγ vs. m_a from Chandrayaan-2 XSM data for iron.
