Hypervelocity stars. II.

We describe 643 new spectroscopic observations from our targeted survey for HVSs. We find a significant (3.5{sigma}) excess of B-type stars with large velocities +275km/s<V_rf_<450km/s and distances d>10kpc that are most plausibly explained as a new class of HVSs: stars ejected from the Galactic center on bound orbits.

If a Galactic center ejection origin is correct, the distribution of HVSs on the sky should be anisotropic for a survey complete to a fixed limiting apparent magnitude. The unbound HVSs in our survey have a marginally anisotropic distribution on the sky, consistent with the Galactic center ejection picture.
