Understand

The hot and dense core formed in the collapse of a massive star is a powerful source of hypothetical feebly-interacting particles such as sterile neutrinos, dark photons, axion-like particles (ALPs), and others.

Radiative decays such as $a\to2\gamma$ deposit this energy in the surrounding material if the mean free path is less than the radius of the progenitor star.
For the first time, we use a supernova (SN) population with particularly low explosion energies as the most sensitive calorimeters to constrain this possibility.
These SNe are observationally identified as low-luminosity events with low ejecta velocities and low masses of ejected $^{56}$Ni.
