چکیده
We present results from the combined Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) aperture synthesis mosaic survey of HI emission in the Large Magellanic Cloud with 64m Parkes single dish telescope observations.

Large Magellanic Cloud
Formation of GMCs is one of the most crucial issues in galaxy evolution. I will compare CO and HI in the LMC in 3 dimensional space for the first time aiming at revealing the physical connection between GMCs and associated HI gas at a ∼ 40 pc scale. The present major findings are 1) [total CO intensity] ∝ [total HI intensity] for the 110 GMCs, and 2) the HI intensity tends to increase with the ...
متن کاملOrigin of structural and kinematical properties of the Small Magellanic Cloud
We investigate structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of stars and gas in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) interacting with the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Galaxy based on a series of self-consistent chemodynamical simulations. We adopt a new “dwarf spheroidal model” in which the SMC initially has both old stars with a spherical spatial distribution and an extended HI gas dis...
متن کاملFormation of the Small Magellanic Cloud: ancient major merger as a solution to the kinematical differences between old stars and HI gas
Recent observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have revealed that the HI gas shows a significant amount of rotation (Vc ∼ 60 km s ), while no or little rotation is evident for the old stellar populations. We suggest that this unique kinematical difference between these components in the SMC can be caused by a major merger event which occurred in the early stage of the SMC formation. Ou...
متن کاملA New Look at the Kinematics of Neutral Hydrogen in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We have used the latest HI observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes telescope, to re-examine the kinematics of this dwarf, irregular galaxy. A large velocity gradient is found in the HI velocity field with a significant symmetry in iso-velocity contours, suggestive of a differential rotation. A comparison of HI data wit...
متن کاملHI observations towards the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy
We have measured the λ21 cm line of Galactic H i over more than 50 square degrees in the direction of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data show no evidence of H i associated with the dwarf spheroidal which might be consider analogous to the Magellanic Stream as it is associated in both position and velocity with the Large Magellanic Cloud. Nor do the H i data show evidence for any ...
