Abstract

After a brief discussion on neutrino electromagnetic properties, we consider the problem of neutrino energy spectra in different media. It is shown that in two particular cases (i.e., neutrino propagation in a) transversally moving with increasing speed medium and b) rotating medium) neutrino energies are quantized. These phenomena can be important for astrophysical applications, for instance, for physics of rotating neutron stars.
