Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
High-Velocity Star: The average speed of stars in the solar neighborhood relative to the Sun is about 20 km/s (i.e., the speed at which we see stars moving toward or away from the Sun-not their orbital speed around the galaxy). Suppose you discover a Star in the solar neighborhood that is moving relative to the Sun at a much higher speed-say, 200 km/s. What kind of orbit does this star probably have around the Milky Way? In what part of the galaxy does it spend most of its time? Explain.
