Pulsar kicks from neutrino oscillations
Alexander Kusenko, Gino Segre
Neutrino oscillations can explain the observed motion of pulsars. We show that two different models of neutrino emission from a cooling neutron star are in good quantitative agreem…

Neutrino transport: no asymmetry in equilibrium
Alexander Kusenko, Gino Segre, Alexander Vilenkin
A small asymmetry in the flux of neutrinos emitted by a hot newly-born neutron star could explain the observed motions of pulsars. However, even in the presence of parity-violating…

The origin of pulsar velocities
Alexander Kusenko, Gino Segre
We have recently proposed an explanation for the birth velocities of pulsars as resulting from asymmetries due to neutrino oscillations in the cooling protoneutron star. A specific…
