Kinematics in galactic tidal tails - A source for Hypervelocity stars?

[abridged] In this work we study in detail the kinematics of tidal debris stars to investigate the implications of the new scenario that the observed sample of Hypervelocity stars could partly originate from a dwarf-host galaxy collision. We use a suite of N-body simulations following the encounter...
