Neutrino astrophysics and cosmology: recent developments

Abstract

In this talk, I have discussed some issues of recent interest and activity in the field of neutrino astrophysics and cosmology. The topics are: (1)~The origin of high peculiar velocities of pulsars; (2)~Energization of the supernova shock wave; (3)~Ultra-high energy neutrino astronomy; (4)~Possible implications of the recent measurements of low deuterium abundance.
