Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars located in the Galactic halo travelling with extremely high speeds. They are produced when a binary approches the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC) and gets tidally broken up. In this process one of the stars is ejected with high velocity. The angle between the velocity of the incoming binary and the velocity of the ejected HVS is alm
