Scientific paper

It is no longer necessary to `sell' the idea of pulsar kicks, the notion that
neutron stars receive a large velocity (a few hundred to a thousand km
s$^{-1}$) at birth. However, the origin of the kicks remains mysterious. We
review the physics of different kick mechanisms, including hydrodynamically
driven, neutrino and magnetically driven kicks.
