Description
Axions represent one of the most promising dark matter candidates to date. Although experimental searches have recently made huge progress, much of the axion parameter space remains unexplored. In this talk, I will show that radio observations of neutron stars (NSs) can be used to search for axion dark matter. I will then explore how dense substructures, called axion miniclusters, can lead to bright radio transients in the Galactic center through their interactions with NSs.
