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.

  1. How neutrinos could help solving cosmological anomalies and tensions

    Neutrino invisible decays and a boomerang mechanism transferring particles between visible and dark sectors could resolve cosmological anomalies while predicting an observable effective magnetic moment.
