On the Metallicity and Origin of the Smith High-Velocity Cloud

Andrew J. Fox, Nicolas Lehner, Felix J. Lockman +7

The Smith Cloud is a gaseous high-velocity cloud (HVC) in an advanced state of accretion, only 2.9 kpc below the Galactic plane and due to impact the disk in 27 Myr. It is unique a…

APOGEE Kinematics I: Overview of the Kinematics of the Galactic Bulge as Mapped by APOGEE

M. Ness, G. Zasowski, J. A. Johnson +12

We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the disk at positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. APOGEE includes…

Down-the-barrel and transverse observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud: evidence for a symmetrical galactic wind on the near and far sides of the galaxy

Kat Barger, Nicolas Lehner, J. Chris Howk

We compare the properties of gas flows on both the near and far side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using Hubble Space Telescope UV absorption-line observations toward an…
