Pulsars, Stellar Dynamics And Kinematics

Scientific paper

We investigate the form of the neutron star velocity kick distribution function f(v) by modeling the Galactic population of neutron stars. Using mock pular data sets drawn from models with known parameters, we discuss the recovery of f(v). We illustrate the relationship between f(v) and several kinematic properties of the detected objects: the distribution of kicks imparted at birth, the distribution of total space velocity today, and the distribution of the perpendicular component of the velocity today. The pulsar luminosity parameters strongly influence the determination of f(v).
