Scientific paper

The author rejects the hypothesis that runaway stars are formed by the destruction of a pair of massive stars during the explosion of the more massive component, on the basis that recent model calculations of Van den Heiwel and Heise (1972) have shown that a supernova explosion (if symmetric) cannot lead to destruction of the pair. He proposes instead that after the explosion, a normal massive star plus neutron star or black hole is formed, and this close binary system may be identified with a runaway star. According to this hypothesis, the majority of the invisible components of runaway stars would be neutron stars, detectable as radio pulsars. Rough calculations show that the search for the pulsar components of runaway stars should be carried out in the decimetric-centimetric wavelength range.
