Reconstructing Deconstruction: High-velocity Cloud Distance through Disruption Morphology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present Arecibo L-band Feed Array 21-cm observations of a sub-complex of HVCs at the tip of the Anti-Center Complex. These observations show morphological details that point to interaction with the ambient halo medium and differential drag within the cloud sub-complex. We develop a new technique for measuring cloud distances, which relies upon these observed morphological and kinematic characteristics, and show that it is consistent with Hα distances. These results are consistent with distances to HVCs and halo densities derived from models in which HVCs are formed from cooling halo gas. Subject headings: ISM: kinematics and dynamics, ISM: clouds, Galaxy: halo, radio lines: ISM

An Accurate Distance to High - Velocity Cloud Complex C
We report an accurate distance of d = 10 ± 2.5 kpc to the high-velocity cloud Complex C. Using high signal-to-noise Keck/HIRES spectra of two horizontal-branch stars, we have detected Ca II K absorption lines from the cloud. Significant non-detections towards a further 3 stars yield robust lower distance limits.
متن کاملA multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملImaging of Lgs 3 and an Apparently Interacting High - Velocity Cloud
We present a 93 ′ × 93 ′ map of the area near the Local Group dwarf galaxy LGS 3, centered on an H I cloud 30 ′ away from the galaxy. Previous authors associated this cloud with LGS 3 but relied on observations made with a 36 ′ beam. Our high-resolution (3. ′ 4), wide-field Arecibo observations of the region reveal that the H I cloud is distinct from the galaxy and suggest an interaction betwee...
متن کاملIs Ursa Major II the Progenitor of the Orphan Stream?
Prominent in the ‘Field of Streams’ – the Sloan Digital Sky Survey map of substructure in the Galactic halo – is an ‘Orphan Stream’ without obvious progenitor. In this numerical study, we show a possible connection between the newly found dwarf satellite Ursa Major II (UMa II) and the Orphan Stream. We provide numerical simulations of the disruption of UMa II that match the observational data o...
متن کاملConsequences Modeling of the Akçagaz Accident through Land Use Planning (LUP) Approach
In the study, consequences analysis of Akçagaz LPG Facilities accident was conducted. The consequences analysis, modeling studies were performed by the use of EFFECTS 10.0 Software over two liquefied gas LOC (Loss of Containment) scenarios. One of the scenarios was G1: Instantaneous release corresponding to BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) and the other was G2: Release in 1...
