The Galactic path of stellar black holes and neutron stars

Abstract: Abstract. The kinematics of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries in the Galaxy should help to know their birth place and constrain their evolution. We have used multiple tools of modern astronomy to determine the trajectories in the Galaxy and track the origins of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries that are of topical interest in astrophysics. We find three distinct classes of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries: (1) low mass X-ray binaries that move at high velocities on galactocentric or… Show more
