Scientific paper

Numerical calculations support the conjecture that high velocity stars born in or near the rotating disk are not distributed spherically throughout the galaxy. Instead an empty funnel region forms around the rotation axis of the galaxy, where no stars reside. The funnel appears only for high velocity stars, such as old pulsars. Within about 50 kpc distance from the galactic center the funnel shape is almost not dependent on the existence of a massive corona.
