Motivation & Outline<br />
Can we observe the X‐<strong>ray</strong> signal from axions<br />
converting directly in the solar atmosphere?<br />
•Summary of basic ideas & properties of expected axions signal<br />
•Some solar physics<br />
– Density & magnetic fields of the solar atmosphere<br />
– Competing <strong>Solar</strong> X‐<strong>ray</strong> emission<br />
•Current <strong>Solar</strong> <strong>Observations</strong><br />
– Hard X‐<strong>ray</strong> (HXR) with RHESSI<br />
– Soft X‐<strong>ray</strong> (SXR) with Yohkoh/SXT and Hinode/XRT<br />
•Future <strong>Observations</strong><br />
– NuSTAR, NEXT, FOXSI........<br />
•Conclusions<br />
