Hyper-velocity stars are believed to be ejected out from the Galactic center through dynamical interactions of (binary) stars with the central massive black hole(s). In this paper, we firstly select F and G type main sequence stars from about 370,000 stellar spectra of DR7. Then, we select 369 high velocity stars from main sequence samples using the radial velocity distribution. Finally, we find 13 possible unbound hyper-velocity star candidates from the 369 high velocity stars.
