abstract
It has been recently pointed out that neutrino fluxes from a supernova can show substantial flavor conversions almost immediately above the core. Using linear stability analyses and numerical solutions of the fully nonlinear equations of motion, we perform a detailed study of these fast conversions, focussing on the region just above the supernova core. We carefully specify the instabilities for evolution in space or time, andfind that neutrinos travelling towards the core make fast conversions more generic, i.e., possible for a wider range of flux ratios and angular asymmetries that produce a crossing between the zenith-angle spectra of $\nu_e$ and ${\bar\nu_e}$. Using fluxes and angular distributions predicted by supernova simulations, we find that fast conversions can occur within tens of nanoseconds, only a few meters away from the putative neutrinospheres. If these fast flavor conversions indeed take place, they would have important implications for the supernova explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis.

Advection Algorithms for Quantum Neutrino Moment Transport
A modulus-phase Riemann solver for quantum neutrino moments gives fast-flavor instability growth rates and wavenumbers closer to multi-angle simulations than the prior real-imaginary implementation.

Tau lepton asymmetry by sterile neutrino emission -- Moving beyond one-zone supernova models
keV-mass sterile neutrinos mixing with tau neutrinos can generate a tau lepton asymmetry larger than 0.15, and including the dynamical feedback relaxes supernova bounds on sterile neutrino mixing.

Solar-System Abundances of $p$-Nuclides Probe Collective Neutrino Oscillations in Supernovae
Nearby neutrino flavor conversion in a supernova can boost νp-process yields of p-nuclides like 92Mo and 92Nb by up to two orders of magnitude, matching solar abundances when conversion starts within ~10 km of the pro...

Neutrino halo effect on collective neutrino oscillation in iron core-collapse supernova model of a 9.6 $M_{\odot}$ star
For a 9.6 solar mass supernova, including scattered halo neutrinos delays the onset of collective neutrino oscillation at early times and sharpens spectral swap features, improving their detectability.
