N2 - The origin of high velocity stars observed in the halo of our Galaxy is still unclear. In this work we test the hypothesis, raised by results of recent high precision N-body simulations, of strong acceleration of stars belonging to a massive globular cluster orbitally decayed in the central region of the host galaxy, where it suffers of a close interaction with a super massive black hole, which, for these test cases, we assumed 108 M in mass.
