New observations of a region of the Magellanic Stream

High-sensitivity H I observations on a region of the Magellanic Stream reveal that it is more complex than was thought earlier. It splits into two branches separated by two degrees and they are directly connected with the H I gas around the Magellanic Clouds. Additionally, the observations show that...

Description
Summary:High-sensitivity H I observations on a region of the Magellanic Stream reveal that it is more complex than was thought earlier. It splits into two branches separated by two degrees and they are directly connected with the H I gas around the Magellanic Clouds. Additionally, the observations show that the stream has another component separated both in space and in velocity from the main ridge.
