Forty Hypervelocity Stars from Gaia DR3.

PARTHASARATHY M.

Abstract (from CDS):

Forty hypervelocity stars (HVS) are detected from a search for HVS in Gaia DR3 data whose G magnitudes are less than 17.0 and radial velocities are more +400 km s–1. The Gaia DR3 astrophysical parameters and spectra indicate that most of the HVS reported in this study are F, G, and K type metal-poor stars. Eleven stars are at high galactic latitudes. Included in this study are the B components of six nearby visual double stars BD-6 885B, HD 47503B, HD 53229B, HD 95123B, HD 180683B, and HD 202276B which are found to be HVS. The A components of these six visual doubles are less massive late-type stars with normal radial velocities. The source of hypervelocity of the B components is not clear. They may have less luminous and relatively massive degenerate component stars which are not yet detected. Further study of all these HVS is needed.
