Fig. 10

Left: entropy distribution in a cross-sectional plane of model L15-1 at 1000 ms after bounce. The plane is chosen such that it contains the final vectors of the NS kick velocity induced by aspherical mass ejection (vns, long white arrow pointing to the right) and of the kick velocity caused by anisotropic neutrino emission (vns, short white arrow pointing towards the 7 o’clock position). The relative lengths of both arrows correspond to the absolute values of the velocities (vns ≈ 160 km s-1 and vns ≈ 5 km s-1), but the short arrow for vns is stretched by a factor of 5 for better visibility. A yardstick in the lower left corner of the figure indicates a spatial length scale of 2000 km. The contribution of anisotropic neutrino emission to the total NS kick velocity is clearly a small effect. Right: time evolution of the neutrino-induced kick velocity vns and of the angle αkν between vns and vns. The final velocities point roughly in opposite directions.
