Sumario: | The working principle of axion helioscopes can be behind unexpected solar X-ray emission, being associated with solar magnetic fields, which become the catalyst. Solar axion signals are transient brightenings, or, continuous radiation. We arrive at 2 exotica: a) trapped, radiatively decaying, massive axions and b) outstreaming light axions, explaining unpredictable transient solar phenomena. Then, the energy of a related phenomenon points at the birth place of the axions. The energy range below some 100 eV is a window of opportunity for direct axion searches. Indirect signatures support axions or the like as an explanation of enigmatic behaviour in the Sun and beyond. Axion antennas could take advantage of such a feed back. |
