Abstract
We show that axion emission from neutron stars is the dominant energy-loss mechanism for a range of values of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scale () not excluded by previous constraints. This gives the possibility of obtaining a better bound on from measurements of surface temperature of neutron stars.
