A Star in the M31 Giant Stream: the Highest Negative Stellar Velocity Known (2009)

Caldwell, N., Morrison, H., Kenyon, S. J., Schiavon, R., Harding, P., Rose, J. A.

We report on a single star, B030D, observed as part of a large survey of objects in M31, which has the unusual radial velocity of -780 km/s. Based on details of its spectrum, we find that the star is...
