The Kinematic Structure of Magnetically Aligned HI Filaments

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Doyeon Avery Kim, Susan E Clark, Mary E Putman, Larry Li, | Summary: We characterize the kinematic and magnetic properties of HI filaments located in a high Galactic latitude region ($165^circ < alpha < 195^circ$ and $12^circ < delta < 24^circ$). We extract three-dimensional filamentary structures […]
