Abstract

En 中文
When compact objects – neutron stars and black holes – are formed in a supernova explosion, they may receive a high velocity at formation, which may reach or even exceed 1000 km s−1 for neutron stars and hundreds of km s−1 for black holes. The origin of the velocity kick is intimately related to supernova physics. A better understanding of kick properties from astronomical observations will shed light on the unsolved problems of these explosions, such as the exact conditions leading to exotic electron capture and ultra-stripped supernovae.
