Pulsar kicks
Summary
- A pulsar kick refers to the observed phenomenon that the neutron star remnant of many supernovae do not move with the velocity of their progenitor star, but rather with a substantially greater speed. The cause of pulsar kicks is unknown, but many astrophysicists believe that it must be due to an asymmetry in the way a supernova explodes.
