Fig. 3.

Three-dimensional orbits of HVS 5 (top left panel), HVS 7 (top middle panel), HVS 8 (top right panel), B485 (bottom left panel), B711 (bottom middle panel), and B733 (bottom right panel) in a Galactic Cartesian coordinate system in which the z-axis points to the Galactic north pole. The trajectories (red line; the arrow indicates the current position of the star) are traced back to the Galactic plane using Model I of Irrgang et al. (2013). The black rimmed, red and blue shaded areas mark regions where 68% and 95% (1σ and 2σ) of the trajectories intersected the Galactic plane when uncertainties in the distance, proper motions, and radial velocity were propagated. Orbits that did not cross the Galactic plane within twice the estimated stellar lifetime were omitted to account for the finite age of the star. The positions of the Sun and the GC are marked by a yellow ⊙ and a black +, respectively.
