6 sources for · 0 against

Multiple observational and theoretical studies confirm that gravitational interactions and dynamic processes near galactic centers eject stars at interstellar and hypervelocity speeds.

Gaia and the Galactic Center Origin of Hypervelocity Stars
2018 · cited by 74
Demonstrates that gravitational interactions around the Galactic center eject stars at velocities exceeding the galactic escape velocity.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide extensive evidence that gravitational interactions (such as three-body scattering near massive black holes) and supernova-related events (such as binary natal kicks) accelerate stars to hypervelocity and interstellar escape speeds.
