On Neutron Star Natal Kicks in High-Mass X-Ray Binaries: Insights from Population Synthesis
Xiangyu Ivy Wang, Xiang-Dong Li
The motion of neutron stars (NSs) in the Galaxy is largely dependent on natal kicks received by the NSs during supernova explosions. Thus, the measured peculiar velocities of NS hi…
