Anisotropic neutrino emission during the neutron star formation can be the origin of the observed proper motions of pulsars. We derive a general expression for the momentum asymmetry in terms of the neutrino energy flux gradient, and show that a nonvanishing effect is induced at the lowest order by a deformed neutrinosphere. In particular, this result is valid for a neutrino flux transported through a spherical atmosphere with constant luminosity.
