麦哲伦旋臂区域的GASS高速云

GASS High Velocity Clouds in the Region of the Magellanic Leading Arm

Bi-Qing For, Lister Staveley-Smith, Naomi M. McClure-Griffiths

摘要:

我们提出了一个目录的高速云在该地区的麦哲伦主导臂。该目录是基于中性氢(\HI)的观测从帕克斯银河系全天巡天(GASS)。优异的光谱分辨率允许分辨具有窄线成分的云。探测到的云总数为419。本文介绍了云的编目方法,给出了云的基本参数。我们讨论了高速云的一般分布,并根据它们的形态类型对云进行分类。在麦哲伦系统模拟的背景下,讨论了大量的头,尾云及其分布在该地区的存在。我们认为,冲压压力剥离是一个更重要的因素比潮汐力的形态和形成的麦哲伦主导臂和不同的环境条件可能解释麦哲伦主导臂和麦哲伦流之间的形态差异。我们还讨论了一个新确定的人口的云,形成了LA IV和一个新的弥漫桥状功能连接LA II和III复合体。

英文摘要:

We present a catalog of high-velocity clouds in the region of the Magellanic Leading Arm. The catalog is based on neutral hydrogen (\HI) observations from the Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS). Excellent spectral resolution allows clouds with narrow-line components to be resolved. The total number of detected clouds is 419. We describe the method of cataloging and present the basic parameters of the clouds. We discuss the general distribution of the high-velocity clouds and classify the clouds based on their morphological type. The presence of a significant number of head-tail clouds and their distribution in the region is discussed in the context of Magellanic System simulations. We suggest that ram-pressure stripping is a more important factor than tidal forces for the morphology and formation of the Magellanic Leading Arm and that different environmental conditions might explain the morphological difference between the Magellanic Leading Arm and Magellanic Stream. We also discuss a newly identified population of clouds that forms the LA IV and a new diffuse bridge-like feature connecting the LA II and III complexes.
