Supermassive Black Holes, Hypervelocity Stars, and Planets... Oh My! by Dr. Idan Ginsburg.
How do you get something as massive as a star to move over 2 million miles per hour? Where would such a star originate, and where might it go? Why are such "hypervelocity stars" important, and what can "hypervelocity planets" teach us? Dr. Ginsburg will answer all these questions (and more) in his talk.
