Abstract

The previously proposed idea about the possible role of neutrons released during the supernova (SN) outburst as a source of polarized electrons causing chiral asymmetry of organic molecules in interstellar gas—dust clouds is developed. A specific physical mechanism of removal of a large number of free neutrons beyond the dense SN shell via the relativistic neutron fireball with a Lorentz factor on the order of 100 is considered. Estimations show high efficiency of the chiral effect of electrons from the SN in the mechanism under consideration.
