Orbital Characteristics of Binary Systems after Asymmetric Supernova Explosions
We present an analytical method for studying the changes of the orbital characteristics of binary systems with circular orbits due to a kick velocity imparted to the newborn neutron star during a supernova (SN) explosion. Assuming a Maxwellian distribution of kick velocities we derive analytical expressions for the distribution functions …
