Scientific paper

Pulsar kicks are produced when a type Ia supernova occurs with a neutron star core remnant. The neutron star is then given a kick, a back-reaction of the supernova explosion. There are three main types of mechanisms which can produce this kick: a hydrodynamical mechanism, a magnetic-neutrino driven mechanism, and an electromagnetic mechanism. Based on estimates of pulsar birthrates in our galaxy, the horizon limit of detection for pulsar kicks has been found. Based on current models and estimates, the horizon limit for the detection of gravitational waves from a large pulsar kick may extend to nearby galaxies after the implementation of Advanced LIGO.
