Runaway Revelations: Tracking the Hidden Lives of Ejected Stars

This study presents a 13-year spectroscopic survey of 188 candidate runaway stars, revealing that over 40 are in binary systems and confirming that most have unusually high space velocities. By combining this data with Gaia measurements, the team improved velocity estimates and attempted to trace the stars' origins, though no definitive links to known neutron stars were found.
