	abstract = {Active tuning of the scattering of particles and metasurfaces is a highly sought-after property for a host\&nbsp;of electromagnetic and photonic applications, but it normally requires challenging-to-control tunable\&nbsp;(reconfigurable) or active (gain) media. Here, we introduce the concepts of anisotropic virtual gain and oblique Kerker effect, where a completely lossy anisotropic medium behaves exactly as its anisotropic
<div class="endOfLine">gain counterpart upon excitation by a synthetic complex-frequency wave. The strategy allows one to\&nbsp;largely tune the magnitude and angle of a particle{\textquoteright}s scattering simply by changing the shape (envelope)\&nbsp;of the incoming radiation, rather than by an involved medium-tuning mechanism. The so-attained\&nbsp;anisotropic virtual gain enables directional super-scattering at an oblique direction with fine-management of the scattering angle. Our study is based on analytical techniques that allow multipolar\&nbsp;decomposition of the scattered field in agreement with full-wave simulations, and lays the foundations\&nbsp;for a light management method.</div>},
