摘要:

我们提出了四个银河系球状星团的21厘米观测,作为正在进行的GALFA-HI调查在阿雷西博的一部分。我们发现了一个奇特的HI云在附近的遥远的(109千秒差距)集群E104,并讨论其性质和可能的协会与集群。我们的结论是,HI云和A14的关联是可能的,但A14和附近的致密高速云之间的偶然巧合不能完全排除。另外三个星系团:M3、NGC 5466和NGC 13,也得到了新的更严格的上限。我们简要地讨论了球状星团气体的命运和致密云与星系晕气体的相互作用。

英文摘要:

We present 21-cm observations of four Galactic globular clusters, as part of the on-going GALFA-HI Survey at Arecibo. We discovered a peculiar HI cloud in the vicinity of the distant (109 kpc) cluster Pal 4, and discuss its properties and likelihood of association with the cluster. We conclude that an association of the HI cloud and Pal 4 is possible, but that a chance coincidence between Pal 4 and a nearby compact high-velocity cloud cannot be ruled out altogether. New, more stringent upper limits were derived for the other three clusters: M 3, NGC 5466, and Pal 13. We briefly discuss the fate of globular cluster gas and the interaction of compact clouds with the Galactic Halo gas.
