In these Canberra summer school lectures we treat a number of topical issues in neutrino astrophysics: the solar neutrino problem, including the physics of the standard solar model, helioseismology, and the possibility that the solution…
We follow a minimalistic approach to neutrino masses, by introducing a single heavy singlet $N$ into the standard model (or supersymmetric standard model) with a heavy Majorana mass $M$, which couples as a single right-handed neutrino in a…
We study the effect of random matter density fluctuations in the sun on resonant neutrino conversion in matter by solving numerically the evolution equation for the neutrino system including the full effect of the random matter density…
Comparison of solar-neutrino signals in SNO and Super-Kamiokande (SK) detectors results in discovery of $\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu,\tau}$ oscillations at level $3.1 - 3.3 \sigma$ \cite{SNO}. This comparison involves the assumption of neutrino…
There are compelling evidences for the existence of a fourth degree of freedom of neutrinos i.e. sterile neutrino. In the recent studies the role of sterile component of neutrinos has been found to be crucial, not only in particle physics,…

Efforts to understand unusual weather or abrupt changes in climate have been plagued by deficiencies of the standard solar model (SSM). While it assumes that our primary source of energy began as a homogeneous ball of hydrogen (H) with a…
In a future study of solar neutrinos a special emphasis should be given to the measurement of the fluxes of neutrinos generated in CNO cycle, because this is a direct way to measure with record uncertainty - less than 1% the contribution to…
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a water imaging Cherenkov detector. Its usage of 1000 metric tons of D$_{2}$O as target allows the SNO detector to make a solar-model independent test of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis by…

It is suggested that the solar variability is due to the perturbed nature of the solar core and this variability is provided by the variability of the solar neutrino flux from the solar neutrino detectors i.e., Homestake, Superkamiokande,…
Based on our recent three-dimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations including both exploding and non-exploding models, we study the detailed neutrino signals in representative terrestrial neutrino observatories,…
We study the stability of the two--neutrino vacuum oscillation solution of the solar neutrino problem with respect to changes of the total fluxes of boron and beryllium neutrinos. For any value of $\Phi_{{\rm Be}}$ from the interval…
We discuss what appears the last hope for an astrophysical solution to the solar neutrino problem: a correlated variation of the astrophysical factors for the helium burning cross sections ($S_{33}$ and $S_{34}$) and either $S_{17}$ or the…
The energetic balance of the Standard Solar Model (SSM) results from an equilibrium between nuclear energy production, energy transfer, and photospheric emission. In this letter, we derive an order of magnitude of several % for the loss of…
Allowing for antineutrinos ($\bar\nu_x$) and sterile neutrinos ($\nu_s$) to accompany LMA oscillations, we derive in a model independent way, upper bounds on their components in the solar flux, using the recent data from SNO and…

Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) between neutrinos and matter affect the neutrino flavor oscillations. Due to the high matter density in the core of the Sun, solar neutrinos are suited to probe these interactions. Using the $277$ kton-yr…
