Astrophysical and Cosmological Neutrinos  

In General > s.a. astrophysics; cosmic rays; equivalence principle; modified lorentz symmetry; quantum-gravity phenomenology.
* Abundance: Can be determined indirectly from cmb anisotropy; Contributes to the dark matter.
* Sources: The known sources are the Sun and SN1987A, neither above 108 eV; The next ones detected should be other supernovae.
* Number of species: 2013, Current cosmological data do not require any non-standard neutrino properties; 2014, The mismatch between observations of galaxy clusters and measurements of the cosmic background radiation could be explained if neutrinos are more massive than is usually thought, and hints at a fourth type of neutrino.

* Idea: 2014, No known objects within our galaxy are capable of accelerating particles to energies beyond 1019 eV; The leading explanation for any cosmic rays with those energies is that they come from GRBs and AGNs, both powered by the rapid accretion of mass onto black holes and producing jets.
* Cosmic neutrino background: 2015, The current temperature is estimated to be about 1.945 K, but it cannot yet be measured.
