Hypervelocity stars have become a hot subject now researchers from Vanderbilt Univ in a collaboration with NASA and ESO have found a new class of these fast moving stars.
These are not blue and luminous, neither do they come from the galactic center, but are more regular sun like stars that move in quite surprising directions. What originally boosted the stars to this velocity and where they originated is still unknown. Vanderbilt webpage published Thursday Jan 9 |
