The Origins of Young Stars in the Direction of the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream: Abundances, Kinematics, and Orbits [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys J, 2018
We explore the origins of the young B-type stars found by Casetti-Dinescu et al. at the outskirts of the Milky Way disk in the sky region of the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream.

The Magellanic Stream: theoretical considerations [PDF]

open access: bronzeSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979
The tidal and the primordial theories for the Magellanic Stream are examined in a frame of test-particle simulation for the interacting triple system of the Galaxy, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). Difficulties of the radial velocity of the Stream still beset these two theories.

The scattered debris of the Magellanic Stream

open access: green, 2008
Searching the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) and its northern extension, we detected a population of very compact high-velocity clouds (HVCs) with similar velocities in the Galactic standard-of-rest frame which appear to be arranged in several ...

N-body simulations of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2005
A suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of the Magellanic Clouds -- Milky Way system are presented and compared directly with newly available data from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS).

The Magellanic Stream, High-Velocity Clouds and the Sculptor Group [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2002
The Magellanic Stream is a 100\deg x 10\deg filament of gas which lies within the Galactic halo and contains ~ 2 x 10^8 \Msun of neutral hydrogen. We present data from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) in the first complete survey of the entire ...

Kinematics of the Magellanic Stream and Implications for Its Ionization* [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstrophysical Journal, 2020
The Magellanic Stream and the Leading Arm form a massive, filamentary system of gas clouds surrounding the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Here we present a new component-level analysis of their ultraviolet (UV) kinematic properties using a sample of ...

Identifying H i Emission and UV Absorber Associations near the Magellanic Stream

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a new technique to identify associations of H i emission in the Magellanic Stream (MS) and ultraviolet (UV) absorbers from 92 QSO sight lines near the MS. We quantify the level of associations of individual H i elements to the main H i body of

The critical velocity effect as a cause for the H\alpha emission from the Magellanic stream [PDF]

open access: green, 2000
Observations show significant H\alpha-emissions in the Galactic halo near the edges of cold gas clouds of the Magellanic Stream. The source for the ionization of the cold gas is still a widely open question.
