Abstract: (Elsevier)
It is believed that carbon burning of detonation or deflagration is an essential process for producing type I supernovae. We consider the effect of the energy loss due to the DFSZ axions on the core temperature of the star, and we use the minimum core temperature needed for a type I supernova to constrain the mass of DFSZ axions.
