The Impact of the Galactic Bar and the Large Magellanic Cloud on Hypervelocity Star Trajectories

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) ejected from the Galactic center at speeds faster than the Galactic escape velocity are useful tools to provide insight into the Milky Way’s dark matter halo. However, most characterizations of HVS orbits assume static models of the Milky Way’s gravitational potential. In...
