Observational advances over the last decade have left little doubt that neutron stars received a large kick velocity (of order a few hundred to a thousand km/s) at birth. The physical origin of the kicks and the related supernova asymmetry is one of the central unsolved mysteries of supernova research. We review the physics of different kick mechanisms, including hydrodynamically driven, neutrino -- magnetic field driven, and electromagnetically driven kicks. The viabilities of the different kick mechanisms are directly related to the other key parameters characterizing nascent neutron stars, such as the initial magnetic field and the initial spin. Recent observational constraints on kick mechanisms are also discussed.

On Neutron Star Natal Kicks in High-Mass X-Ray Binaries: Insights from Population Synthesis
From 36 neutron-star X-ray binaries, the best-fitting natal kick model is a bimodal Maxwellian with sigma=320 km/s for core-collapse supernovae and sigma=80 km/s for electron-capture supernovae.
