An team of astronomers at Vanderbilt University has discovered a surprising new class of Hyper-velocity Stars -- solitary stars moving fast enough to escape the gravitational grasp of the Milky Way galaxy. The most commonly accepted mechanism for kicking a star out of the galaxy involves an interaction with the supermassive black hole at the galactic core. None of these Hyper-velocity stars come from the center, which implies that these may belong to a new class of Hyper-velocity Stars that use a different ejection mechanism.
