The Effect of Neutrino Radiation on Magnetorotational Instability in Proto-Neutron Stars

Abstract

Neutrino radiation takes a major role in the momentum, heat, and lepton transports in proto-neutron stars (PNSs). These diffusive processes affect the growth of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in PNSs. We perform a local linear analysis for the axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric MRI including the effects of neutrino transports and ohmic dissipation. We find that the MRI can grow even in the multi-diffusive situations that are realized in neutrino loaded PNSs. When the toroidal magnetic component dominates over the poloidal one, nonaxisymmetric MRI modes grow much faster than axisymmetric modes. These results suggest the importance of the nonaxisymmetric MRI in PNSs. Thus the understandings of three-dimensional nonlinear evolutions of the MRI are necessary to reveal the explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernovae.
