We propose a novel differential analysis procedure to reduce the astrophysical background, and derive stringent constraints on the existence of axions in the previously unexplored mass window of ~(10 −21–10 −20) eV.Įvent Horizon Telescope Collaborationet al. In this paper, we leverage the azimuthal distribution of electric vector position angle measured by the Event Horizon Telescope to study the axion–photon coupling. For the nearly face-on M87 ⋆, this oscillation in the electric vector position angle appears as a propagating wave along the photon ring. The presence of an axion cloud leads to a frequency-independent oscillation in the electric vector position angle of this linear polarization. Recently, the linear polarization of radiation emitted near the supermassive black hole M87 ⋆ was measured on four separate days, precisely enabling tests of the existence of a dense axion cloud produced by a spinning black hole. The hitherto unprecedented angular resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope has created exciting opportunities in the search for new physics.
