Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, harbor a central supermassive blackhole (SMBH) weighing millions to billions of solar masses. Surrounding theseSMBHs are dense regions of stars and stellar remnants, such as neutron starsand black holes. Neutron stars and possibly black holes receive large natalkicks at birth on the order of hundreds of km s$^{-1}$. The natal kicks thatoccur in the vicinity of an SMBH may redistribute the orbital configuration ofthe compact objects and alter their underlying density distribution. We modelthe effects of natal kicks on a Galactic Center (GC) population of massivestars and stellar binaries with different initial density distributions. Usingobservational constraints from stellar orbits near the GC, we place an upperlimit on the steepness of the initial stellar profile and find it to becore-like. In addition, we predict that $30-70 \%$ of compact objects becomeunbound from the SMBH due to their kicks and will migrate throughout thegalaxy. Different black hole kick prescriptions lead to distinct spatial andkinematic distributions. We suggest that the Roman Space Telescope may be ableto distinguish between these distributions and thus be able to differentiatenatal kick mechanisms.
