Selected Topics in Neutrino Astrophysics
Abstract
Description
This review covers a subset of the astrophysical phenomena where neutrinos play a significant role and where the underlying microphysics is nuclear physics. The current status of the solar neutrino problem, atmospheric neutrino experiments, the role of neutrinos in determining the dynamics of type-II supernovae, and recent developments in exploring neutrino propagation in stochastic media are reviewed.
