This means that the system went throughtwo Low-Mass X-rayBinaryphases. Measurement of the system velocitywill, accordingtoourcalculations, allowto put constraints on the kick velocitywimpartedto the neutron star duringitsbirth in the supernova explosion, as follows: The second figurefigure in the right-hand column togetherwith the abovetable shows: Baylin, C.D. 1987, PhD Thesis Eggleton, P.. & Kiseleva, L., 1995, ApJ 455,640 Harrington, R.S. 1972, Celestial Mechanics, 6, 322.
