High-velocity Clouds and the Local Group
I examine some of the evidence relevant to the idea that high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are gas clouds distributed throughout the Local Group, as proposed by Blitz et al. (1999) and Braun & Burton (1999). This model makes several predictions: a) the clouds have low metallicities; b) there should be no detectable Hα emission; c) analogues near other galaxies should exist; and d) many faint HVCs in ...
متن کاملHigh–Velocity Clouds: Building Blocks of the Local Group
We suggest that the high–velocity clouds (HVCs) are large clouds, with typical diameters of 25 kpc and containing 5×107 solar masses of neutral gas and 3×108 solar masses of dark matter, falling onto the Local Group; altogether the HVCs contain 10 solar masses of neutral gas. Our reexamination of the Local–Group hypothesis for the HVCs connects their properties to the hierarchical structure for...
متن کاملWhere Are the High-velocity Clouds in Local Group Analogs?
High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are clouds of H i seen around the Milky Way with velocities inconsistent with Galactic rotation; they have unknown distances and masses and controversial origins. One possibility is that HVCs are associated with the small dark matter halos seen in models of galaxy formation and distributed at distances of 150 kpc to 1 Mpc. We report on our attempts to detect the anal...
متن کاملM31 Transverse Velocity and Local Group Mass from Satellite Kinematics
We present several different statistical methods to determine the transverse velocity vector of M31. The underlying assumptions are that the M31 satellites on average follow the motion of M31 through space, and that the galaxies in the outer parts of the Local Group on average follow the motion of the Local Group barycenter through space. We apply the methods to the line-of-sight velocities of ...
