Ultralight dark photons and axions are well-motivated hypothetical dark matter candidates. Both dark photon dark matter and axion dark matter can resonantly convert into electromagnetic waves in the solar corona when their mass is equal to the solar plasma frequency. The resultant electromagnetic waves appear as monochromatic signals within the radio-frequency range with an energy equal to the dark matter mass, which can be detected via radio telescopes for solar observations.

- Dark photons may serve as a candidate for ultralight dark matter, interacting with known particles through a process called kinetic mixing.
- Researchers plan to detect ultralight dark photon dark matter (DPDM) by observing its effects, which can cause electron oscillations in radio telescope antennas, resulting in a specific radio signal.
- Data from the FAST telescope suggests the possibility of a very tight upper limit on kinetic mixing for certain DPDM frequencies, and larger arrays like LOFAR and SKA1 could significantly enhance detection capabilities across a wide frequency range.
