Description

The indirect detection of axions can enable us to probe axion parameters with various astrophysical and cosmological observations. In this talk, I will discuss new dynamics and phenomena that are unique to axions, such as the formation of axion miniclusters and axion stars. Then I will introduce some new ideas on testing these new phenomena, which can enhance the sensitivity and motivate more dedicated searches.
