Photon Spectrum Produced by the Late Decay of a Cosmic Neutrino Background
We obtain the photon spectrum induced by a cosmic background of unstable
neutrinos. We study the spectrum in a variety of cosmological scenarios and
also we allow for the neutrinos having a momentum distribution (only a critical
matter dominated universe and neutrinos at rest have been considered until
now). Our results can be helpful when extracting bounds on neutrino electric
and magnetic moments from cosmic photon background observations.Comment: RevTex, 14 pages, 3 figures; minor changes, references added. To
