H 2 absorption in a dense interstellar filament in the Milky Way halo
We investigate interstellar absorption from molecular hydrogen (H2) and metals in an intermediatevelocity cloud (IVC) in the direction of the LMC star Sk -68 80 (HD36521), based on data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. H2 absorption from the Lymanand Werner bands is detected in 30 lines at radial velocities vLSR ≈ +50 km s −1 in this IVC that is presumably locat...
متن کاملHighly Ionized High Velocity Clouds: Intergalactic Gas in the Local Group or Distant Gas in the Galactic Halo?
In the course of our studies of the gaseous halo surrounding the Milky Way, we have recently identified several high velocity (VLSR < -100 km s ) clouds in the directions of Mrk 509 and PKS 2155-304 that have unusual ionization properties. The clouds exhibit strong C IV absorption with little or no detectable low ion (C II, Si II) absorption or H I 21 cm emission down to very sensitive levels. ...
متن کاملFirst Detection of Dust Emission in a High-velocity Cloud
By comparing sensitive Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) infrared and Green Bank Telescope 21 cm observations, we are able to report the first detection of dust emission in Complex C, the largest High Velocity Cloud in the sky. Dust in the region of Complex C studied here has a colder temperature (T = 10.7 −0.8 K 1σ) than the local interstellar medium (T = 17.5 K), in accordance with its great dist...
متن کاملThe gravitational and hydrodynamical interaction between the LMC and the Galaxy
We use high resolution N-Body/SPH simulations to study the hydrodynamical and gravitational interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way. We model the dark and hot extended halo components as well as the stellar/gaseous disks of the two galaxies. Both galaxies are embedded in extended cuspy LCDM dark matter halos. We follow the previous four Gyrs of the LMC’s orbit such that...
