Abstract

It is pointed out that the emission of axions from stellar plasmas and their reabsorption is stimulated by the thermal radiation field in processes with final-state photons. An expression for the bremsstrahlung emissivity of a stellar plasma is given for the nonrelativistic, degenerate regime. Some other aspects of a recent calculation by Pantziris and Kang of stellar axion emissivities are discussed.
