Abstract:Runaway stars are characterised by their remarkably high space velocities, and the study of their formation mechanisms has attracted considerable interest. Young, nearby runaway stars are the most favorable for identifying their place of origin, and for searching for possible associated objects such as neutron stars.Usually the research field of runaway stars focuses on O-and B-type stars, because these objects are better detectable at larger distances than late-type stars. Early-type runaway stars have the ad… Show more
