SDSS J090744.99+024506.8 (SDSS 090745.0+024507) is a short-period variable star in the constellation Hydra. It has a Galactic rest-frame radial velocity of 709 km/s.[3]
Its effective temperature is 10,500 K (corresponding to a spectral type of B9) and its age is estimated to be at most 350 million years. It has a heliocentric distance of 71 kpc. It was ejected from the centre of the galaxy less than 100 million years ago, which implies the existence of a population of young stars at the galactic centre less than 100 million years ago.[3]
Christened by the astronomer Warren Brown as the "outcast star", it is the first discovered member of a class of objects named hypervelocity stars.[6] It was discovered in 2005 at the MMT Observatory of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA), by astronomers Warren Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon and Michael J. Kurtz.[4]
