We have recently proposed an explanation for the birth velocities of pulsars based on neutrino oscillations (hep-ph/9606428). One of the quantities, dN/dT, was evaluated in the approximation of constant chemical potential for the electrons. An alternative approximation based on the assumption Ye=const, used by Qian (astro-ph/9705055), yields a somewhat higher prediction for the magnetic field inside a neutron star. If the same input parameters are used, the two approximations are in reasonable agreement, given the uncertainty in the geometry of the magnetic field and the simplified picture of neutrino emission that comes with the notion of a neutrinosphere.
