Scientific paper

It is shown that the events which produce compact objects may be divided into at least two classes on the basis of the impulse given to a binary system containing the collapsing object. This impulse may be related to the amount and symmetry of mass loss resulting from the collapse event. Evidence for the expulsion of large amounts of mass or momentum in the formation of some compact objects is summarized. Evidence for a second class of compact objects, formed in a much less disruptive manner, is put forward. Further study of the X-ray sources and globular clusters is called for.
