2. Observed sample of BH X-ray binaries:  Growing in number  Exciting recent measurements of proper motion give us with radial velocity unique information on kinematic history (see F. Mirabel’s talk) BH formation: some open questions …  What is the mass relation between progenitors and BHs ?  Are asymmetric birth kicks imparted to BHs ?  How do their magnitudes compare to NS kicks ?
