Abstract

In this paper it has been shown that the neutrino bulk viscous stresses can give rise to the late time acceleration of the universe. It is found that a number of spatially flat FRW models with a negative deceleration parameter can be constructed using neutrino viscosity and one of them mimics a Λ\LambdaCDM model. This does not require any exotic dark energy component or any modification of gravity.
