RUNAWAY DWARF CARBON STARS AS CANDIDATE SUPERNOVA EJECTA

RUNAWAY DWARF CARBON STARS AS CANDIDATE SUPERNOVA EJECTA

The dwarf carbon (dC) star SDSS J112801.67+004034.6 has an unusually high radial velocity, 531$\pm 4$ km s$^{-1}$. We present proper motion and new spectroscopic observations which imply a large Galactic rest frame velocity, 425$\pm 9$ km s$^{-1}$. Several other SDSS dC stars are also inferred to have very high galactocentric …
