Pulsar Kicks from Majoron Emission
arXiv:hep-ph/0502150 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2005.06.060
Abstract
We show that Majoron emission from a hot nascent neutron star can be anisotropic in the presence of a strong magnetic field. If Majorons carry a non-negligible fraction of the supernova energy, the resulting recoil velocity of a neutron star can explain the observed velocities of pulsars.
