In this talk it will be discussed the physics potential of a Galactic supernovae in probing axions and axion-like particles, starting from the lesson of the SN 1987A to current and planned experiments

At UWA we have funded axion detection programs for several mass ranges. The research program includes:
1) The Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN (ORGAN) experiment [1], to search the mass range 0.06 to 0.21 mev using a 14 Tesla magnet, dilution fridge, novel microwave cavity designs [2] and readout systems based on cross correlation to combine more than one cavity [3].
2) Ferromagnetic...

The recent releases of data from the Gaia satellite are transformational for galactic astronomy. The unprecetented accuracy with which stellar positions and velocities can be determined with Gaia means we are getting a fresh understanding of the structure, composition and history of the Milky Way's halo. The new data shows that the Milky Way underwent several major merger events which shaped...

ABRACADABRA is an experiment that searches for axion dark matter (ADM) in the $10^{-14} - 10^{-6}\mathrm{eV}/c^2$ mass range. In ABRACADABRA, ADM couples to the static magnetic field of a toroidal magnet. This coupling induces a small, oscillating magnetic flux in the center of the torus that can be measured by a pickup loop connected to a SQUID current sensor. Both broadband and resonant...

A couple of years after the first installation of dilution refrigerators, IBS/CAPP has launched a pilot axion cavity experiment, CAPP-PACE, equipped with an 8 T superconducting magnet with 12 cm inner bore to search for microwave axions with a mass around 10 µeV. The experiment utilized a high Q-factor cavity with a piezoelectric frequency tuning system. The total system noise temperature was...

The KLASH (KLoe magnet for Axion SearcH) experiment has been proposed to search for galactic axions with mass between 0.2 and 1 $\mu$eV using a large volume resonant cavity (22 m$^3$), cooled down to 4.5 K and immersed in a 0.6 T magnetic field generated inside the superconducting magnet of the KLOE experiment located at the National Laboratory of Frascati of INFN. In September 2018 INFN...
