On the Origins of Extreme Velocity Stars as Revealed by Large-scale Galactic Surveys

We assemble a large sample of 12,784 high-velocity stars with total velocity V _GSR ≥ 300 km s ^−1 , selected from RAVE DR5, SDSS DR12, LAMOST DR8, APOGEE DR16, GALAH DR2, and Gaia EDR3. In this sample, 52 are marginally hypervelocity star (HVS) candidates that have V _GSR exceeding their local esca...
