Pulsar kicks with modified Urca and electrons in Landau levels
Pulsar kicks with modified Urca and electrons in Landau levels
We derive the energy asymmetry given the protoneutron star during the time when the neutrino sphere is near the surface of the protoneutron star, using the modified Urca process. The electrons produced with the antineutrinos are in Landau levels due to the strong magnetic field, and this leads to asymmetry …
