The spatial distribution of coalescing neutron star binaries: implications for gamma-ray bursts
We find the distribution of coalescence times, birth rates, spatial velocities, and subsequent radial offsets of coalescing neutron stars (NSs) in various galactic potentials accounting for large asymmetric kicks introduced during a supernova. The birth rates of bound NS-NS binaries are quite sensitive to the magnitude of the kick velocities but
