v_esc as a function of R for different Galactic potentials. The solid red line corresponds to the MWPotential2014 from GALPY, and the dashed lines located above correspond to the other potentials considered for our comparison. A maximum difference of ∼100 km s^-1 is observed between the models along the full range in R included in this plot. The red points indicate the total velocities computed for the 23 HVS candidates.
