Abstract

From the Gaia DR3 data twenty three bright hypervelocity stars that have Tycho catalogue numbers are presented. All these stars are of high galactic latitude and some may be galactic halo stars. All of them have accurate Gaia DR3 parallaxes and radial velocities. There is hardly any relevant literature on some of these stars. The Gaia DR3 astrophysical parameters of some of these stars indicate that they are of late spectral types and some are metal-poor. The astrophysical parameters are available for some of these stars in the literature but they differ from the Gaia DR3 results. Detailed chemical composition determination of these stars from an analysis of high resolution spectra is very much needed to further understand the evolutionary status and how these stars acquired such high radial velocities.
