Hypervelocity Stars Trace a Supermassive Black Hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are produced by the Hills mechanism when a stellar binary is disrupted by a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The HVS Survey detected 21 unbound B-type main-sequence stars in the Milky Way’s outer halo that are consistent with ejection via the Hills mechanism. We revisit the...
