Nonvirialized dark-matter axions may be present in the Milky Way halo in the form of low-velocity-dispersion flows. In this paper, the Axion Dark-Matter eXperiment performed a search for the conversion of these axions into microwave photons using a resonant cavity immersed in a strong, static magnetic field. The spread of photon energy in these measurements was measured at spectral resolutions of the order of 1 Hz and below. If the energy variation were this small, the frequency modulation of any real axion signal due to the orbital and rotational motion of Earth would become non-negligible. Conservative estimates of the expected signal modulation were made and used as a guide for the search procedure. The photon frequencies covered by this search are 812–852 and 858–892 MHz, which correspond to an axion mass of 3.36–3.52 and $3.55 - 3.69 μ eV$ . Finally, no axion signal was found, and limits were placed on the maximum local density of nonvirialized axions of these masses.
