A stream of hypervelocity stars from the Galactic Center
  Recent observations have found a 1700 km/s star [S5-HVS1] that was ejected
from the Galactic Center approximately five million years ago. This star was
likely produced by tidal disruption of a binary. In particular, the Galactic
Center contains a few million year old stellar disk that could excite binaries
to nearly radial orbits via a secular gravitational instability. Such binaries
would be disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and would also
explain the observed cluster of B stars ~0.01 pc from the Galactic Center. In
this paper we predict S5-HVS1 is part of a larger stream, and use
observationally motivated N-body simulations to predict its spatial and
velocity distribution.
