The Metallicities of Five Small High-velocity Clouds
High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are multiphase gas structures whose velocities (∣ v _LSR ∣ ≥ 100 km s ^−1 ) are too high to be explained by Galactic disk rotation. While large HVCs are well characterized, compact and small HVCs (with H i angular sizes of a few degrees) are poorly understood. Possible or...
