abstract
Pseudoscalar particles $\phi$ usually couple electromagnetically by an interaction of the form $\frc14 g \phi F {\widetilde F}$, allowing them to convert to photons in the presence of magnetic fields. Notably, new low-mass pseudoscalars emitted from supernova (SN) 1987A would have been converted to $\gamma$-rays in the intervening magnetic field of the galaxy. Therefore, measurements by the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) can limit the inverse coupling constant to $g^{-1}>1{\times}10^{11}\,\rm GeV$, assuming the pseudoscalar is massless. This is an improvement over other astrophysical limits of a factor of about 2.5.
