Pulsar kicks from a dark-matter sterile neutrino

We show that a sterile neutrino with a mass in the 1--20 keV range and a small mixing with the electron neutrino can simultaneously explain the origin of the pulsar motions and the dark matter in the Universe. An asymmetric neutrino emission from a hot nascent neutron star can be …
