This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Neutrinos offer a new way to look at the sky. As a new generation of experiments is being developed, the detection of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae and stellar jets finally is within reach, with unprecendented potential to learn about these sources and about the properties of the neutrinos as a particle. This proposal has the main goal to contribute to the theory of neutrinos from astrophysical sources, in guidance and support of this new phase of neutrino astrophysics research. Being based at a large public university, it has the potential to actively involve postdocs and students. This mentoring activity will contribute to educating a new generation of neutrino theorists that is urgently needed in this exciting time.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。中微子提供了一种新的方式来看待天空。随着新一代实验的发展，从核心坍缩超新星和恒星喷流中探测中微子终于触手可及，了解这些来源和中微子作为粒子的性质具有前所未有的潜力。该计划的主要目标是为天体物理学中微子理论做出贡献，指导和支持中微子天体物理学研究的新阶段。它位于一所大型公立大学，有可能积极吸引博士后和学生参与。这种指导活动将有助于教育新一代的中微子理论家，这是迫切需要在这个令人兴奋的时刻。
