We improve by one order of magnitude the existing limits in the parameter space (gaγγ, m) by considering ALPs production via photon coalescence. For gae≠0, we demonstrate that trapped ALPs can be Compton absorbed while crossing the Sun, resulting in two regimes in the exclusion limits, with a transition triggered by gae. Out of the transitional region, the solar x-ray constraints on ALPs are exclusively governed by gaγγ.}, organization = {MICINN (PID2019-105943GB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033)}, organization = {“Junta de Andalucía” Grant No. P18-FR-4314}, organization = {FCT-CERN Grant No. CERN/FIS-PAR/0027/2021}, organization = {COST Action COSMIC WISPers CA21106, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology)}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {New solar x-ray constraints on keV axionlike particles}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevD.108.L081302}, author = {Beaufort, Cyprien and Bastero Gil, Mar and Luce, Tiffany and Santos, Daniel}, }
