RAVE stars tidally stripped or ejected from the ω Centauri globular cluster

Using six-dimensional phase-space information from the Fourth Data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) over the range of Galactic longitude 240°Vesc,0) from the cluster, we identified 15 stars as having close encounters with ω Centauri: (i) 8 stars with relative velocities Vrel< 200 km s-1 may have been ejected ~200 Myr ago from ω Centauri; (ii) another group of 7 stars were identified with high relative velocity Vrel> 200 km s-1 during close encounters, and it seems unlikely that they were ejected from ω Centauri. We also confirm the link between J131340.4-484714 as a potential member of ω Centauri, and probably ejected ~2.0 Myr ago, with a relative velocity Vrel ~ 80 km s-1.
