... We propose that the bimodal nature of the kick velocity distribu­ tion of radio pulsars is connected to the dichotomy between hadronic stars (i.e. neutron stars with no quark matter content) and quark stars. ... Here we propose a scenario in which the low­velocity part of the distribution is connected with normal (hadronic) compact stars, and high­velocity part is formed by objects with some amount of quark matter inside (hybrid or strange stars). ...
