Improved constraints on Galactic Centre ejection of hypervelocity stars based on novel search method

ABSTRACT Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars which have been ejected from the Galactic Centre (GC) at velocities of up to a few thousand $\text{km}\, \text{s}^{-1}$. They are tracers of the Galactic potential and can be used to infer properties of the GC, such as the initial mass function and assem...
