Fig. 9.

Mass function of massive (Mdis ≥ 7.5 M⊙), runaway (faster than ≥30 km s−1) stars depends on the assumptions for the BH kick. Bottom panel: our fiducial simulation with σkick = 265 km s−1, including the fallback downscaling of the kick both for NSs and BHs. The fallback is an important effect only for BHs. Central panel: mass function for intermediate BH kicks (σkick = 100 km s−1, no fallback downscaling) and our fiducial kick for NSs. Top panel: distribution with our fiducial kick amplitude, but without fallback downscaling (i.e., BH velocity kick). The dashed lines indicate the 90th percentiles of the mass distributions.
