To do so we perform accurate calculations of photon-axion conversion in the presence of a variable magnetic field. We propose several tests where the PQ axion parameter space can be explored with current and future astronomical surveys: the observed spectra of isolated neutron stars, occultations of background objects by white dwarfs and neutron stars, the light-curves of eclipsing binaries containing a white dwarf. We find that the lack of dimming of the light-curve of a detached eclipsing white dwarf binary recently observed, leads to relevant constraints on the photon-axion conversion. Current surveys designed for Earth-like planet searches are well matched to strengthen and improve the constraints on the PQ axion using astrophysical objects radiation dimming.", optnote="WOS:000295198300005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=779), last updated on Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:32:55 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2011.08.019", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.1728", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2011.08.019", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1102.1728", language="English" }
