The Origin of the Magellanic Stream and Its Leading Arm
David L. Nidever, Steven R. Majewski, W. Butler Burton
We explore the Magellanic Stream (MS) using a Gaussian decomposition of the HI velocity profiles in the Leiden-Argentine-Bonn (LAB) all-sky HI survey. This decomposition exposes th…
CHVCs: Galactic Building Blocks at z = 0
Robert Braun, W. Butler Burton
A distinct sub-class of anomalous velocity HI emission features has emerged from recent high quality surveys of the Local Group environment, namely the compact high velocity clouds…
Morphological Characteristics of Compact High-Velocity Clouds Revealed by High-Resolution WSRT Imaging
W. B. Burton, Robert Braun
A class of compact, isolated high-velocity clouds which plausibly represents a homogeneous subsample of the HVC phenomenon in a single physical state was objectively identified by…
HI Observations Towards the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
W. B. Burton, Felix J. Lockman
We have measured the 21-cm line of Galactic HI over more than 50 square degrees in the direction of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data show no evidence of HI associa…
The Kinematic and Spatial Deployment of Compact, Isolated High-Velocity Clouds
R. Braun, W. B. Burton
We have identified a class of high-velocity clouds which are compact and apparently isolated. The clouds are compact in that they have angular sizes less than 2 degrees FWHM. They…
A search for soft X-ray emission associated with prominent high-velocity-cloud complexes
J. Kerp, W. B. Burton, R. Egger +5
We correlate the ROSAT 1/4 keV all-sky survey with the Leiden/Dwingeloo HI survey, looking for soft X-ray signatures of prominent high-velocity-cloud (HVC) complexes. We study the…
