abstract = {Axions and other putative feebly interacting particles
(FIPs) with a mass of tens to several hundreds of keVs can
be produced in stellar cores with a Lorentz boost factor
$E_a/m_a\lesssim 10$. Thus, starburst galaxies such as M82
are efficient factories of slow axions. Their decay
$a\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ would produce a large flux of
X-ray photons, peaking around $100$ keV and spread around
the galaxy by an angle that can be relatively large. We use
observations of the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array
(NuSTAR) mission to show that the absence of these features
can constrain $30-500$ keV axion masses into uncharted
regions for axion-photon coupling of $g_{a\gamma}\sim
10^{-10}-10^{-12}\,\rm GeV^{-1}$. Our argument can be
applied to other heavy FIPs and astrophysical sources that
are hot enough to produce them, yet cold enough to avoid
large boost factors which slow down the decay.},
