Abstract

This contribution describes high-velocity clouds (HVCs), neutral hydrogen moving with velocities inexplicable by differential galactic rotation. They have been invoked as evidence for infall of gas to the Galaxy, as manifestations of a galactic fountain, as energy source for the formation of supershells, etc. It is becoming clear that a single model will not suffice to explain all HVCs. A better understanding is mainly hampered by the fact that the distance remains unknown. Many aspects to the study of HVCs will be discussed here.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
