For the same HVC we derive an iron abundance which is half of the solar value. Thus, all evidence points to a Galactic origin for high-velocity cloud complex in front of the LMC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-11-24T16:02:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galactic halo", "high-velocity cloud complex", "molecular hydrogen absorption", "large magellanic cloud", "galactic high-velocity cloud" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 520468 } } }
