Scientific paper

It is suggested that the density fluctuations of axionic dark matter may have measureable luminosities. Depending on the axionic mass, it is shown that the luminosity of an axion cluster may approach that of a star, galaxy, or galaxy cluster of comparable total mass. For an appropriate range of axion mass, the local galactic halo and Andromeda give observable signals, with the signal being a photon spectrum that is probably sharply peaked at half the axionic mass.
