We point out that for solar neutrino oscillations with the mass-squared difference of Delta m^2 ~ 10^-10 - 10^-9 eV^2, traditionally known as ``vacuum oscillation'' range, the solar matter effects are non-negligible, particularly for the…

We investigate the current status of the long-wavelength vacuum oscillation solution to the solar neutrino problem and to what extent the presence of a third neutrino can affect and modify it. Assuming that the smaller mass squared…
We discuss constraints on the coefficient A_{MSW} which is introduced to simulate the effect of weaker or stronger matter potential for electron neutrinos with the current and future solar neutrino data. The currently available solar…

If the lepton numbers are associated with global symmetries spontaneously broken at a scale below 1 TeV, neutrino oscillations in supernovae produce classic Majoron fields that perturb the neutrino propagation itself and may change the…

It is of great interest whether the recent KamLAND bound on the flux of electron antineutrinos from the Sun constrains the electromagnetic properties of the neutrino. We examine the efficiency of the electron antineutrino production in the…
Parity violation and its effects for neutrinos in astrophysical contexts have been considered earlier in pioneering papers of Hawking and Vilenkin. But because even the largest magnetic moments predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model…

Results of neutrino oscillation experiments have always been presented on the (sin^2 2theta, Delta m^2) parameter space for the case of two-flavor oscillations. We point out, however, that this parameterization misses the half of the…
