Revealing the Ionization Properties of the Magellanic Stream using Optical Emission [PDF]

, 2017
The Magellanic Stream, a gaseous tail that trails behind the Magellanic Clouds, could replenish the Milky Way with a tremendous amount of gas if it reaches the Galactic disk before it evaporates into the halo.

The Magellanic Stream: Observational Considerations [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979
The Magellanic Stream is an arc of neutral hydrogen which nearly follows a great circle and which contains the Magellanic Clouds - hence its name (Mathewson, Cleary and Murray 1974). This great circle passes within a few degrees of the south galactic pole and lies close to the supergalactic plane. Mathewson and Schwarz (1976) argued that this indicates

THE MAGELLANIC STREAM: BREAK-UP AND ACCRETION ONTO THE HOT GALACTIC CORONA [PDF]

, 2015
The Magellanic H i Stream (≈2 × 109 M⊙ [d/55 kpc]2) encircling the Galaxy at a distance d is arguably the most important tracer of what happens to gas accreting onto a disk galaxy. Recent observations reveal that the Stream’s mass is in fact dominated (3:

Chemical Abundances in the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

, 2018
The Leading Arm (LA) of the Magellanic Stream is a vast debris field of H i clouds connecting the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. It represents an example of active gas accretion onto the Galaxy.

The Origin of the Magellanic Stream and Its Leading Arm [PDF]

, 2008
We explore the Magellanic Stream (MS) using a Gaussian decomposition of the H I velocity profiles in the Leiden-Argentine-Bonn (LAB) all-sky H I survey.

The COS/UVES Absorption Survey of the Magellanic Stream: II. Evidence for a complex enrichment history of the Stream from the Fairall 9 sightline [PDF]

, 2013
We present a multi-wavelength study of the Magellanic Stream (MS), a massive gaseous structure in the Local Group that is believed to represent material stripped from the Magellanic Clouds. We use ultraviolet, optical and radio data obtained with HST/COS,

Towards a complete understanding of the Magellanic Stream Formation [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
The Magellanic Clouds have lost most of their gas during their passage by the Milky Way, a property that has never been successfully modeled. Here we use accurate and mesh-free hydrodynamic simulations to reproduce the Magellanic Stream and the ...

The Magellanic Stream: Circumnavigating the Galaxy [PDF]

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016
The Magellanic Clouds are surrounded by an extended network of gaseous structures. Chief among these is the Magellanic Stream, an interwoven tail of filaments trailing the Clouds in their orbit around the Milky Way. When considered in tandem with its Leading Arm, the Stream stretches over 200° on the sky.

A Compact High Velocity Cloud near the Magellanic Stream: Metallicity and Small-Scale Structure [PDF]

, 2014
The Magellanic Stream (MS) is a well-resolved gaseous tail originating from the Magellanic Clouds. Studies of its physical properties and chemical composition are needed to understand its role in Galactic evolution.

The galactic wake model of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979
Tidal interaction models for the origin of the Magellanic Stream have been fairly successful in reproducing the radial velocities of the Stream (Lin and Lynden-Bell 1977, Davies and Wright 1977). However, no investigator has yet attained a self consistent treatment in which (1) the LMC and SMC are bound for at least 5×109 yr, (2) the passing Magellanic
