Correlation between the Twelve High-velocity Neutral Hydrogen Clouds and a Feature of the Sky in the Radio Continuum

Abstract

Hulsbosch and Raimond1 have discovered a region, 100° in diameter, which contains twelve clouds of neutral hydrogen distinguishable from the general background emission by their exceptionally high Doppler shifts. These shifts correspond to velocities from −85 km/sec to −175 km/sec relative to the Sun. It is interesting that there appears to be a relationship between these peculiar neutral hydrogen clouds and the features of the radio continuum emission from the high galactic latitudes.
