The ejection and detectability of high- and hyper-velocity stars by compact object binaries in globular clusters
Fraser A. Evans, Steffani M. Grondin, Claire S. Ye +3
The dense cores of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) play host to a variety of dynamical encounters between stellar objects, which can accelerate stars to velocities high enough to…
