Potential Kick Velocity Distribution of Black Hole X-ray Binaries and Implications for Natal Kicks

We use Very Long Baseline Interferometry to measure the proper motions of three black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs). Using these results together with data from the literature and Gaia-DR2 to collate the best available constraints on proper motion, parallax, distance and systemic radial velocity of 16...
