Far From Home: The science exploitation of the fastest milky way stars (PhD defense Fraser Evans, UL)

They hurtle along at over a thousand kilometres per second: the fastest stars in the Milky Way. PhD candidate Fraser Evans conducted research into these elusive hypervelocity stars and discovered that they have a lot to teach us, about black holes and supernovae, for example. Fraser will defend his thesis on March 15 at Leiden University. His supervisors are Elena Rossi and Koen Kuijken.
