Physics of Neutron Star Kicks
نویسنده
چکیده
It is no longer necessary to “sell” the idea of pulsar kicks, the notion that neutron stars receive a large velocity (a few hundred to a thousand km s) at birth. However, the origin of the kicks remains mysterious. We review the physics of different kick mechanisms, including hydrodynamically driven, neutrino and magnetically driven kicks.

Neutron Star Kicks and Asymmetric Supernovae
Observational advances over the last decade have left little doubt that neutron stars received a large kick velocity (of order a few hundred to a thousand kms) at birth. The physical origin of the kicks and the related supernova asymmetry is one of the central unsolved mysteries of supernova research. We review the physics of different kick mechanisms, including hydrodynamically driven, neutrin...
متن کاملNeutron Star Kicks and Supernova Asymmetry
Observations over the last decade have shown that neutron stars receive a large kick velocity (of order a few hundred to a thousand km s−1) at birth. The physical origin of the kicks and the related supernova asymmetry is one of the central unsolved mysteries of supernova research. We review the physics of different kick mechanisms, including hydrodynamically driven, neutrino – magnetic field d...
متن کاملSpin-perpendicular kicks from evanescent binaries formed in the aftermath of rotational core-collapse and the nature of the observed bimodal distribution of pulsar peculiar velocities
We argue that if core collapse leads to the formation of a rapidly rotating proto-neutron star core or a fizzler surrounded by fall-back material, a lighter proto-neutron star forms around the main star moving in a super-close orbit, as an end result of a fully developed dynamical non-axisymmetric instability. Tidal mass exchange (even through a common envelope phase) propels the lighter star t...
متن کاملSpin and Isospin Asymmetry, Equation of State and Neutron Stars
In the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. We have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. According to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.
متن کاملCore-Collapse Supernovae and Neutron Star Kicks
Recent observations have revealed many new puzzles related to core-collapse supernovae, including the formation of magnetars and black holes and their possible GRB connections. We review our current understanding of the origin of pulsar kicks and supernova asymmetry. It is argued that neutron star kicks are intimately connected to the other fundamental parameters of young neutron stars, such as...
