The Plane Quasar Survey: An Ionized Extension of the Magellanic Stream on the Northern Side of the Galactic Plane [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe Magellanic Stream (MS) is a vast gaseous structure in the Milky Way halo, containing most of its mass in ionized form and tracing the interaction between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy. Using Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origin

Untangling Magellanic Streams [PDF]
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsThe Magellanic Stream (MS) is known to contain multiple HI strands and corresponding stellar populations are being discovered. Combining a sample of 17 stars from the H3 (“Hectochelle in the Halo at High Resolution”) survey with 891 stars drawn from the

The Distance to the Magellanic Stream: Constraints from Optical Absorption along Stellar Sight Lines [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalThe Magellanic Stream is a large tail of neutral and ionized gas originating from tidal and hydrodynamical interactions between the Magellanic Clouds as they orbit the Milky Way (MW).

A Primeval Magellanic Stream and Others [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 The Magellanic Stream might have grown out of tidal interactions at high redshift, when the young galaxies were close together, rather than from later interactions among the Magellanic Clouds and Milky Way. This is illustrated in solutions for the orbits

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 A southern sky survey of H I in the velocity range — 340 km s−1 to +380 km s−1 has shown that a long filament of H I extends from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) region down to the South Galactic Pole and connects with the long H I filament discovered recently by Wannier and Wrixon (1972) and van Kuilenburg (1972). There is also some evidence that the

N-body simulations of the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1996 An extensive set of N-body simulations has been carried out on the gravitational interaction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with the Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The SMC is assumed to have been a barred galaxy with a disc-to-halo mass ratio of unity before interaction and modelled by a large number of self-gravitating particles ...

Cold H
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We report the direct detection of cold H i gas in a cloud ejected from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) towards the Magellanic Stream. The cloud is part of a fragmented shell of H i gas on the outskirts of the SMC. This is the second direct detection of cold H i associated with the Magellanic Stream using absorption.

The Magellanic Corona as the key to the formation of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Nature, 2020 The dominant gaseous structure in the Galactic halo is the Magellanic Stream. This extended network of neutral and ionized filaments surrounds the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), the two most massive satellite galaxies of the Milky Way1-4.

The COS/UVES Absorption Survey of the Magellanic Stream. III: Ionization, Total Mass, and Inflow Rate onto the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2014 Dynamic interactions between the two Magellanic Clouds have flung large quantities of gas into the halo of the Milky Way, creating the Magellanic Stream, the Magellanic Bridge, and the Leading Arm (collectively referred to as the Magellanic System).

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140° of the southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five decades since its discovery.
