Dr Tommaso Marchetti, one of the astronomers from Leiden University in the Netherlands, said: "Rather than flying away from the Galactic centre, most of the
high-velocity stars we spotted seem to be racing towards it.
Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- A team of astronomers using the latest set of data from ESA's Gaia mission to look for
high-velocity stars being kicked out of the Milky Way were surprised to find stars instead sprinting inwards -- perhaps from another galaxy.
By comparing Hubble Space Telescope images from 1998 and 2015, Kevin Luhman (Penn State University) and colleagues found that Source X is moving at more than 55 km/s (120,000 mph) across the sky, away from the same origin point as two other
high-velocity stars: the Becklin-Neugebauer (BN) object and Source I.
They include discussion of heliosphere boundary measurements, interstellar grain alignments, molecular gas, stars, star formation, planetary physics, exoplanetary systems,
high-velocity stars, metal-poor stars, galactic archaeology, semianalytic vs.
Also, there is an unusually large number of
high-velocity stars around 30 Doradus.
