A systematic survey for hypervelocity runaways from thermonuclear supernovae
Kareem El-Badry, Klaus Werner, Ken J. Shen +16
The explosion of a white dwarf (WD) in a close binary can launch a surviving runaway star at velocities of . Such runaways provide a direct probe of…
He-star donor pathway for the hypervelocity star D6-2
Abinaya Swaruba Rajamuthukumar, Ruediger Pakmor, Stephen Justham +2
Type Ia supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, yet the nature of their progenitor systems remains uncertain. Recent discoveries of hypervelocity stars provide uni…
Violent mergers can explain the inflated state of some of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Aakash Bhat, Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen +2
A significant number of hypervelocity stars with velocities between km/s have recently been observed. The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produ…
Supernova Shocks Cannot Explain the Inflated State of Hypervelocity Runaways from White Dwarf Binaries
Aakash Bhat, Evan B. Bauer, Rüdiger Pakmor +5
Recent observations have found a growing number of hypervelocity stars with speeds of km\,s which could have only been produced through thermonuclear su…
