We calculate neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering off electrons and nucleons in supernovae using a detailed Monte Carlo transport code incorporating realistic equations of state. The goal is to determine whether particles in a neutron star core, partially spin-aligned by the local magnetic field, can give rise to asymmetric neutrino emission via the standard parity breaking weak force. We conc...

The general relativistic effects on spin-flavor oscillations above the core of type II supernovae are investigated. The evolution equation is derived and the relative magnitudes of the terms in the Hamiltonian, which arise from the weak, electromagnetic and gravitational interaction, are compared. The effects on the resonance position and the adiabaticity are studied. Explicit calculations are ...

Two-and three-dimensional simulations demonstrate that hydro-dynamic instabilities can lead to low-mode (l = 1, 2) asymmetries of the fluid flow in the neutrino-heated layer behind the supernova shock. This provides a natural explanation for aspherical mass ejection and for pulsar recoil velocities even in excess of 1000 km/s. We propose that the bimodality of the pulsar velocity distribution m...
