Pulsar kicks from neutrino oscillations
Alexander Kusenko
Neutrino oscillations in a core-collapse supernova may be responsible for the observed rapid motions of pulsars. Given the present bounds on the neutrino masses, the pulsar kicks r…
Neutrino oscillations, and the origin of pulsar velocities and dark matter
Alexander Kusenko
Neutrino oscillations in a core-collapse supernova may be responsible for the observed rapid motions of pulsars. Three-dimensional numerical calculations show that, in the absence…
Gamma ray bursts and the origin of galactic positrons
Gianfranco Bertone, Alexander Kusenko, Sergio Palomares-Ruiz +2
A recent observation of the 511 keV electron-positron annihilation line from the Galactic bulge has prompted a debate on the origin of the galactic positrons responsible for this e…
Possible astrophysical clues of dark matter
Alexander Kusenko
The physics of the supernova may provide a clue of the cosmological dark matter. In the absence of new physics, the supernova calculations do not explain the observed velocities of…
Pulsar kicks and dark matter from a sterile neutrino
Alexander Kusenko
The observed velocities of radio pulsars, which range in the hundreds kilometers per second, and many of which exceed 1000 km/s, are not explained by the standard physics of the su…
