While it is way too early to make a final judgement, it is noteworthy that searches at LHC and direct detection experiments reported null results, therefore boosting the ever growing interest in sub-GeV dark sector candidates. Owing to their high temperature and density, the cores of proto-neutron stars, remnant of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers, can be factories of axions...
