Using 48 young pulsars with parallax distances, the authors infer a log-normal natal kick distribution with μ=5.60, σ=0.68, peaking at 150 to 200 km/s, and claim Hobbs et al. (2005) missed a Jacobian correction.

The Kick Velocity Distribution of Isolated Neutron Stars
Using 48 young pulsars with parallax distances, the authors infer a log-normal natal kick distribution with μ=5.60, σ=0.68, peaking at 150 to 200 km/s, and claim Hobbs et al. (2005) missed a Jacobian correction.
