27. The idea that the interaction with a hidden sector of particles would change the usual relation between axion mass and PQ constant was originally proposed in V.A. Rubakov, JETP Lett. 65, 621 (1997). JTPLA2 0021-3640 10.1134/1.567390

30. The nucleon-nucleon-axion bremsstrahlung process was first described in the degenerate limit in N. Iwamoto, Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 1198 (1984). PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.53.1198
31. The nondegenerate case was considered in M.S. Turner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 1797 (1988), and later in other papers (see, e.g.). An accurate discussion of the emission for any degeneracy is given in. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.60.1797
