HI observations of an Ultra-Compact High-Velocity Cloud.

BRUENS C. and WESTMEIER T.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present HI observations of the compact high-velocity cloud HVC289+33+251 that was discovered by Putman et al. (2002AJ....123..873P). Observations with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope demonstrate that this cloud is still unresolved by the 9' beam of the Effelsberg telescope. The cloud shows a small line width of ΔvFWHM=4.9km/s providing an upper limit to the kinetic temperature of the HI gas of Tk≤532K. The total observed flux indicates an HI mass of M(HI)=5.66x104M☉[d/150kpc]2. Follow-up HI observations using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) resolve HVC289+33+251 into 5 condensations that are embedded in a common HI envelope. The HVC shows a faint tail, indicating an ongoing ram-pressure interaction with an ambient low-density medium. A FWHM diameter of θ=4.4' makes this HVC the by far most compact HVC known till now. The observed parameters suggest that pressure stabilization by an ambient medium is rather unlikely. At a distance of 150kpc, the virial mass is by a factor of 5.6 higher than the observed gas mass - consistent with HVC289+33+251 being one of the ``missing'' dark matter mini halos that were predicted by cosmological ΛCDM simulations (e.g. Klypin et al., 1999ApJ...522...82K; Moore et al., 1999ApJ...524L..19M). Comparable clouds in other groups of galaxies or even around the Milky Way are not detectable with the resolution and sensitivity of present surveys.

within arcsec The VizieR photometry tool allows for easy visualization of photometry points extracted around the Simbad position from photometry-enabled catalogues in VizieR.
The search radius has to be specified by the user. It is currently limited to a maximum of 30 arcsec. It depends mostly on the precision or quality of the coordinates (SIMBAD and VizieR catalogs), the resolution of the images from which the sources were extracted, source extent, and source crowding.
Suggestions are: crowded field: 0.5 to 1.5 arcsec, 3 arcsec otherwise; uncertain coordinates (SIMBAD quality E or coordinates without reference): 5 to 30 arsec (risky!). sed-help-icon
