Animations for 1006.2359 [hep-ph]

This webpage contains animations and additional information for this paper:

H. Duan & A. Friedland, Self-Induced Suppression of Collective Neutrino Oscillations
in a Supernova
, 1006.2359 [hep-ph].

These animations are an integral part of the paper, just like the figures and the text.

Technical note on displaying the animations

These movies should play in a variety of players. If you encounter difficulties, a good, free, cross platform player is VLC, get it here.

I like these results. May I use them in my talk?

You may use these movies in your research or presentations. If you choose to do so, please cite
