Table 1.

Birth kick velocity distributions for NSs used in our synthetic populations.

Ordinary CCSN	Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
	with σ = 265 km s⁻¹^a

Stripped CCSN	bi-modal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
	σ₁^a	σ₂^a
− CCSN-He^b	120 km s⁻¹	200 km s⁻¹
− CCSN-C^b	60 km s⁻¹	200 km s⁻¹

ECSN	flat distribution, 0 − 50 km s⁻¹

Notes.

^(a)

Parameters σ, σ_1/2 are the 1D root mean squares of the Maxwellian and bi-modal Maxwellian distributions, respectively.

^(b)

CCSN-He/C stand for pre-SN stars having their hydrogen/helium envelope stripped.
