Hypervelocity Stars Track Back to the Galactic Center in Gaia DR3
Based on the proper motions and radial velocities from Gaia Data Release 3, we identify two hypervelocity stars (HVSs) that may originate from the Galactic center (GC). We select the candidates by first filtering for all Gaia stars with Galactocentric radial velocities >500 km s ^−1 . We also req...
