The Galactic Nature of High Velocity Cloud Complex WB
C. Thom, M. E. Putman, B. K. Gibson +5
We have detected absorption lines from the High Velocity Cloud Complex WB in the spectrum of the star HE1048+0231. This detection sets an upper distance limit to the cloud of 8.8^{…
High-Velocity Cloud Complex C: Galactic Fuel or galactic Waste?
Brad K. Gibson, Mark L. Giroux, Steven V. Penton +3
We present HST GHRS and STIS observations of five QSOs that probe the prominent high-velocity cloud (HVC) Complex C, covering 10% of the northern sky. Based upon a single sightline…
Metal Abundances in the Magellanic Stream
Brad K. Gibson, Mark L. Giroux, Steven V. Penton +3
We report on the first metallicity determination for gas in the Magellanic Stream, using archival HST GHRS data for the background targets Fairall 9, III Zw 2, and NGC 7469. For Fa…
