Abstract

A model is described that can be used to estimate the bulk polarization of large rotating meteoroids in the magnetic field of a neutron star. The results of this model are applicable to the Supernova Neutrino Amino Acid Processing model, which describes one possible way in which the amino acids, known in nearly all cases to exhibit supramolecular chirality, could have become enantiomeric.
