The Effects of High-Velocity Supernova Kicks on the Orbital Properties and Sky Distributions of Neutron Star Binaries

We systematically investigate the effects of high supernova kick velocities on the orbital parameters of post-supernova neutron-star binaries. Using Monte- Carlo simulations, we determine the post-supernova distributions of orbital parameters for progeneitors of HMXBs and LMXBs. With the recent dist...
