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,…
This is a brief review for particle physicists on cosmological impact of neutrinos and on restrictions on neutrino properties from cosmology. The paper includes discussion of upper bounds on neutrino mass and possible ways to relax them,…
We highlight recent advances in neutrino astrophysics, the open issues and the interplay with neutrino properties. We emphasize the important progress in our understanding of neutrino flavor conversion in media. We discuss the case of solar…
A general overview of neutrino physics is given. The history of the neutrino starting from Pauli and Fermi is briefly presented. Two-component neutrinos, the phenomenological V-A theory and the standard model are discussed. The problem of…
Dark matter is presumably made of some new, exotic particle that appears in extensions of the Standard Model. After giving a brief overview of some popular candidates, I discuss in more detail the most appealing case of the supersymmetric…
The Spin Light of neutrino, the process that becomes possible in matter for a neutrino with nontrivial electromagnetic properties, is considered for the case of nonequal neutrino masses in the initial and final states.
In this paper we investigate neutrino oscillations with altered dispersion relations in the presence of sterile neutrinos. Modified dispersion relations represent an agnostic way to parameterize new physics. Models of this type have been…
Here I briefly discuss why supersymmetry is considered a leading candidate of physics beyond the standard model. I also highlight the salient features of different supersymmetry breaking models. A few other symmetries, broken or intact,…
Scientific motivations for ultra- and extremely high energy neutrino astronomy are considered. Sources and expected fluxes of EHE/UHE neutrinos are briefly discussed. Operating and planned experiments on astrophysical neutrino detection are…
We extract information on the fluxes of Be and CNO neutrinos directly from solar neutrino experiments, with minimal assumptions about solar models. Next we compare these results with solar models, both standard and non standard ones.…
The results of experiments on atmospheric neutrinos are summarized, with the important exception of Superkamiokande. The main emphasis is given to the Soudan-2 and MACRO experiments. Both experiments observe atmospheric neutrino anomalies…
After a brief presentation of the MACRO detector we discuss the updated data on atmospheric muon neutrinos, and the interpretation in terms of neutrino oscillations.
I review the observational status of neutrino physics, including the present hints for neutrino mass and the ways to reconcile the solar and atmospheric neutrino data with the existence of a hot dark matter component, and the possible hints…

Neutrinos are the weirdest of elementary particles, nearly massless and chiral. They oscillate between flavours, furthermore. We try to find a rationale for this maverick behaviour.
