Abstract

A total of 573 objects have previously been identified as high velocity stars. We are using existing Gaia data to confirm their status as such. We are then conducting a systematic survey of the entire Gaia DR3 catalog to identify previously unknown high velocity stars. Of particular interest to us is the prospect of detecting planetary companions, which has yet to be discovered. We will attempt to observe these companions via the transit method aided by TESS data.
