What did we learn out of SN1987A neutrino observations? What do we still need for a full understanding? We select important issues debated in the literature on SN1987A. We focus the discussion mostly on the relevance of certain data…
Recent data lead us to a simple and intriguing form of the neutrino mass matrix. In particular, we find solar neutrino oscillations to be nearly maximal (and rule out the small-angle MSW explanation of solar neutrino observations) if relic…
