Interesting ...
"The first hypervelocity star was confirmed 5 years ago.
They have now detected 16.
According to current surveys only about 1 in 100 million stars is going so fast".
I'm actually surprised they are so infrequent, taking into account what must be going on in/around the accretion disc of a galactic core.
I'll take a punt and guess there's a lot more out there than 1 in 100 million !
As they say, perhaps they're lurking around the core and we just can't see them coming yet. Or, maybe they die before we can see them, how do they effect the matter and space they encounter in their travels ?
Interesting.
Cheers
