Neutrino Astronomy: Advanced Connections

Neutrino astronomy observes nearly massless electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly. Neutrinos probe stellar cores, supernovae, cosmic-ray accelerators, active galaxies, and physics at energies difficult to access with photons alone.

Neutrino astronomy observes nearly massless electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly.

supported

High-energy astrophysical neutrinos can be produced when accelerated hadrons collide with matter or radiation.

supported

Solar neutrinos verify stellar fusion, SN 1987A produced a neutrino burst from core collapse, and IceCube has established a high-energy astrophysical neutrino population with candidate source associations.
