Distant Neutron Stars May Offer Clue About the Truth of Dark Matter – Futurism
“We’re not claiming that we’ve made the discovery of the axion yet, but we’re saying that the extra X-ray photons can be explained by axions.”
According to a new study by a team of theoretical physicists, high-energy X-ray emissions emanating from a group of neutron stars may be caused by axions, a hypothetical elementary particle thats currently one of the top candidates for dark matter.
The team, led by Berkeley Lab Physics Division theoretical physicist Benjamin Safdi, found that a number of neutron stars known as the Magnificent Seven presented a promising way to test for the presence of these theorized particles.
