This exotic cooling could be provided by Weakly Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs), produced in the hot cores and abandoning the star unimpeded, contributing directly to the energy loss. Taken individually, these excesses do not show a strong statistical weight. However, if one mechanism could consistently explain several of them, the hint could be significant. We analyze the hints in terms of neutrino anomalous magnetic moments, minicharged particles, hidden photons and axion-like particles (ALPs). Among them, the ALP represents the best solution. Interestingly, the hinted ALP parameter space is accessible to the next generation proposed ALP searches, such as ALPS II and IAXO.}, keywords = {star (INSPIRE) / WISP (INSPIRE) / axion-like particles (INSPIRE) / neutron star (INSPIRE) / statistical (INSPIRE) / energy loss (INSPIRE) / supernova (INSPIRE) / photon (INSPIRE) / ALPS (INSPIRE)}, cin = {T / ALPS}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)T-20120731 / I:(DE-H253)ALPS-20130318}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)ALPS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25 / PUB:(DE-HGF)15}, eprint = {1512.08108}, howpublished = {arXiv:1512.08108}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1512.08108;\%\%$}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/292389}, }
