Description

In this work, the flux of axions produced during the merger of two neutron stars has been studied. To compute the flux, the most recent neutron star merger models have been employed. Subsequently, the flux of observable gamma rays resulting from the conversion of these axions in the Galactic magnetic field have been estimated.
