Western Magellanic Bridge HI observations

DOI

The 21-cm line emission from a 7x6deg^2^ region east of and adjoining the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes telescopes. This region represents the westernmost part of the Magellanic Bridge, a gas-rich tail extending ~14{deg} to the Large Magellanic Cloud. A rich and complex neutral hydrogen (HI) structure containing shells, bubbles and filaments is revealed. On the larger scale, the HI of the Bridge is organized into two velocity components. This bimodality, which appears to originate in the SMC, converges to a single velocity component within the observed region. A census of shell-like structures suggests a shell population with characteristics similar to that of the SMC.
