This project investigates hypervelocity stars to gain insights into supermassive black holes and dark matter in the Milky Way. By analyzing data from the Gaia mission and other surveys, it aims to improve our understanding of the Galactic Centre and halo, enhancing our knowledge of galaxy formation and dynamics.
Supermassive black holes — located in galactic nuclei— and dark matter —dominant in galactic halos— are vital ingredients in the cosmological process of galaxy formation, including that of our own Galaxy.
However, probing our Galactic Centre (GC) and halo has proven observationally challenging.
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are unique in that they deliver key information on both.
Following interactions with black holes in the vicinity of Sagittarius A*, HVSs are ejected on fast trajectories through…
