Abstract: (AIP)
We present results showing that, thanks to axion‐photon mixing in external magnetic fields, it is actually possible to produce an effect similar to the one needed to explain the large‐scale coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors in visible light that have been observed in some regions of the sky.Note:
