Astrophysical constraints on particle properties

Pramana Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

I summarize some astrophysical phenomenon like gamma ray bursters, astrophysical proof of the existence of blackholes, Active galactic nuclei — as high energy neutrino sources, and some unsolved issues in supernova. I touch on the aspects where novel particle properties (like neutrino mass and magnetic moment) are invoked to understand the astronomical observations.
