According to the classical evolutionary scenario for massive close binariesit is qenerally assumed that two WR phases are encountered, i.e. a WR+OB stage and a WR + compact star stage. The survival probability of a massive binary after an instantaneous supernova (SN) explosion critically depends on the assumed asymmetry of the SN explosion, i.e. on the “kick” velocity Vk (Sutantyo, 1978). The purpose of this paper is to make a statistical study on the expected WR + compact star binaries compared to the WR+OB type binaries based on non-conservative massive binary evolution, as a function of Vk which, as we will see, is very poorly known for these types of stars.
