Description
Neutrinos are crucial actors in some of the marquee targets of multimessenger astronomy. In neutron star mergers and core-collapse supernovae in particular, the production, propagation, and interactions of neutrinos are paramount. But even though these sites are two of the most carefully modeled systems in astrophysics, neutrino oscillations are yet to be reliably incorporated into the relevant predictions and simulations. This talk will give an overview of the challenges to doing so and will present a new theoretical approach that might be able to surmount them.
