Asymmetric neutrino emissions in relativistic mean-field approach and observables: Pulsar kick and spin deceleration of strongly magnetized proto-neutron stars

Abstract

We calculate the spin deceleration of neutron stars due to asymmetric neutrino absorption in a toroidal magnetic field configurations in the relativistic mean field theory. We find that the deceleration can be much larger for asymmetric neutrino absorption in a toroidal magnetic field than the usually presumed braking due to magnetic dipole radiation. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
