Compact High Velocity Clouds
We summarize the observed properties of the CHVC population, which provide strong evidence for source distances in the range 200– 1000 kpc. At these distances, the population corresponds to strongly dark-matter dominated sub-dwarf galaxies still accreting onto the more massive Local Group systems. Recent searches for faint associated stellar populations have revealed red-giant candidates for wh...
متن کاملHighly Ionized High Velocity Clouds
We have recently used the Hubble Space Telescope to study a pair of high velocity clouds in the direction of Mrk 509 that have unusual ionization properties. They exhibit strong C iv absorption with little or no low ion absorption or H i 21 cm emission. As the closest known analog to the outer diffuse halos of damped Lyα absorbers and the low N(H i) metal line absorption systems seen in the spe...
متن کاملCompact High–velocity Clouds at High Resolution
Six examples of the compact, isolated high–velocity clouds catalogued by Braun & Burton (1999) and identified with a dynamically cold ensemble of primitive objects falling towards the barycenter of the Local Group have been imaged with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope; an additional ten have been imaged with the Arecibo telescope. The imaging reveals a characteristic core/halo morpholog...
متن کاملSoft X-rays from High-Velocity Clouds
The ROSATmission gave us the unique possibility to study the galactic interstellar medium by “shadowing” observations on arcmin angular resolution level. The high sensitivity of the ROSAT PSPC in combination with the large field of view allows the detailed study of individual clouds, while the ROSAT all-sky survey is the main source for studies of the large-scale intensity distribution of the d...
متن کاملArecibo imaging of compact high–velocity clouds
Ten isolated compact high–velocity clouds (CHVCs) of the type cataloged by Braun & Burton (1999) have been imaged with the Arecibo telescope and were found to have a nested core/halo morphology. We argue that a combination of high–resolution filled–aperture and synthesis data is crucial to determining the intrinsic properties of the CHVCs. We identify the halos as Warm Neutral Medium surroundin...
