Stars escape from their birth place and eventually become dispersed across the galaxy. This is an important process in galactic evolution. Theoretical studies suggest two possible reasons why stars escape. First, stars may be ejected due to interactions in young multiple star systems. Second, they can also obtain kinetic energy during the collapse or interactions of molecular clouds or clumps.
