abstract = {We report on searches for neutrinos and antineutrinos from
astrophysical sources performed with the Borexino detector
at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy.
Electron antineutrinos ($\barν_e$) are detected in an
organic liquid scintillator through the inverse β-decay
reaction. In the present work we set model-independent upper
limits in the energy range 1.8–16.8 MeV on neutrino fluxes
from unknown sources that improve our previous results, on
average, by a factor 2.5. Using the same data set, we first
obtain experimental constraints on the diffuse supernova
$\barν_e$ fluxes in the previously unexplored region below
8 MeV. A search for $\barν_e$ in the solar neutrino flux is
also presented: the presence of $\barν_e$ would be a
manifestation of a non-zero anomalous magnetic moment of the
neutrino, making possible its conversion to antineutrinos in
the strong magnetic field of the Sun. We obtain a limit for
a solar $\barν_e$ flux of 384 cm–2 s–1 (90\% C.L.),
assuming an undistorted solar $^8B$ neutrinos energy
spectrum, that corresponds to a transition probability
$p_{ν_e \rightarrow \barν_e}$< 7.2 × 10–5 (90\% C.L.)
for $E_{\barν_e}$ > 1.8 MeV. At lower energies, by
investigating the spectral shape of elastic scattering
events, we obtain a new limit on solar $^7Be-ν_e$
conversion into $\barν_e$ of $p_{ν_e \rightarrow
\barν_e}$< 0.14 (90\% C.L.) at 0.862 MeV. Last, we
investigate solar flares as possible neutrino sources and
obtain the strongest up-to-date limits on the fluence of
neutrinos of all flavor neutrino below 3–7 MeV. Assuming
the neutrino flux to be proportional to the flare’s
intensity, we exclude an intense solar flare as the cause of
the observed excess of events in run 117 of the Cl-Ar
Homestake experiment.},
