Polarimetric methods are proposed for searching for light Goldstone bosons (axions and arions) in the emission from astrophysical objects. The basic idea is to make use of the conversion of photons into Goldstone bosons in the magnetic fields of compact stars and also in the interstellar and intergalactic media. This conversion is very sensitive to the polarization state of the photon, and it may lead to significant polarization of the radiation. Polarimetric observations may yield strong constraints on the Goldstone-boson-photon coupling constant. The best candidates for observation are core-emission pulsars, X-ray binaries with low-mass components, and magnetic white dwarfs. For the interstellar medium the effect may be comparable to the interstellar polarization. The radiation fluxes from quasars and from the nuclei of active galaxies may oscillate as a function of the cosmological redshift Z because of the conversion of photons into arions.
