Scientific paper

It is suggested that the asymmetric emission of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation results in a net reaction force on the neutron star which accelerates the star to velocities exceeding 100 km/sec. Attention is given to a pulsar with a magnetic dipole moment which is arbitrarily oriented and also displaced from the rotation axis. The radiation reaction force is initially sufficiently strong to separate all but the closest binaries.
