| In these lectures I will provide an overview of the role of neutrinos both in ordinary stars (like our Sun) or in collapsing stars (supernovae). This includes a brief introduction to the theory of stellar evolution, solar neutrinos, the role of stars as particle-physics laboratories, and what we could learn from the neutrino observation of the next galactic supernova. |
