  In [Comm. Math. Phys. 324 (2013), 445--463], Burton-Lopes Filho-Nussenzveig
Lopes studied the existence and stability of slowly traveling vortex pairs as
maximizers of the kinetic energy penalized by the impulse relative to a
prescribed rearrangement class. In this paper, we prove that after a suitable
scaling transformation the maximization problem studied by Burton-Lopes
Filho-Nussenzveig Lopes in fact gives rise to a family of concentrated vortex
pairs approaching a pair of point vortices with equal magnitude and opposite
signs. The key ingredient of the proof is to deduce a uniform bound for the
size of the supports of the scaled maximizers.
