- Descrição
- Active-to-sterile neutrino oscillations and non-spherical distortion of the resonance surface may trigger asymmetric emission of sterile neutrinos during the core bounce of a supernova collapse. The huge binding energy released and the proto-neutron star rapid rotation may power bursts of gravitational waves by the time the neutrino flavor conversions ensue. These bursts would be detectable upto distances of ~ 55kpc. The relativistic requirement of an ellipsoidal axisymmetric core at maximum GWs emission may be explained by the neutrino-sphere geometry when the oscillations onset. Thus, neutrino oscillations might naturally be the underlying mechanism to produce either asymmetric structures, neutron star kicks and bi-polar jet ejecta in supernovae.
