Scientific paper

In recent years, an increasing number of proper motions have been measured for Galactic black hole X-ray binaries. When supplemented with accurate determinations of other system parameters, these kinematical constraints harbor a wealth of information on compact object formation, such as wether or not black holes receive kicks at birth. In this presentation, we present constraints on the formation of the black hole X-ray binaries GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1118+480. We particularly explore the origin of the compact objects in these X-ray binaries by modeling the ongoing mass transfer phase, tracing the motion in the Galaxy back to the birth site of the black hole, and examining the dynamics of core-collapses of the black hole progenitor.
