Figures and figure captions

   figure97
Figure: Velocity distribution of young pulsars calculated from statistical modelling of evolution of 50,000 binary systems. The "kick" velocity in supernova explosions is assumed to be 100 km/s.

   figure102
Figure: Contours of equal density of energy-angular momentum distribution tex2html_wrap_inline199 . Units: energy in tex2html_wrap_inline381 , angular momentum in tex2html_wrap_inline383 .

   figure109
Figure: Lines of equal effective potential tex2html_wrap_inline385 labelled with the component of space velocity (in km/s) which does not contribute to the tex2html_wrap_inline191 that a newborn neutron star at the galactic plane should aquire to have this potential. Solid line is for the star at a distance r=20 kpc, dashed line - for r=8.5 kpc.

   figure114
Figure: Equal density contours for the calculated distribution of old neutron stars (in arbitrary units).

   figure119
Figure: Plot of tex2html_wrap_inline157 (solid lines), tex2html_wrap_inline373 (long-dashed lines) and tex2html_wrap_inline371 (short-dashed lines) for the calculated old neutron star space distribution versus limiting distance of the sample tex2html_wrap_inline399 . Figures correspond to the distance of the observer from the galactic center (in kiloparsecs).
