The Kick Velocity Distribution of Isolated Neutron Stars

Neutron stars (NSs) are thought to receive natal kicks at their formation in supernovae. In order to investigate the magnitude of these kicks, we analyze the proper motions and distance estimates—through either parallax or dispersion measures—of young isolated pulsars and infer their three-dimension...
