Abstract

Motivated by the Kaluza-Klein theory with large extra spacetime dimensions the neutrino star built from the massive sterile neutrinos core and the massless brane neutrinos envelope is presented. The six - dimensional compactification scale ~15 MeV gives the maximal neutrino mass M_max = 2.3 10⁴ of the solar mass with the radius R_max = 1.2 10⁶ km . The maximal neutrino star parameters varies with temperature. In the limit of the neutrino ball approximation the maximal sterile neutrino star is M_max = 1.1 10⁶ of the solar mass.
