Kinematic properties of 30 H II regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Creators
Description
Emission-line profiles and radial velocities for 30 H ii regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud have been observed with a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot interferometer having a spectral resolution of 11 km -1 The most probable velocities of internal gas motions vary little among the H ii regions and average 14.2 km -1 Radial velocities accurate to 2.5 km 1 show a steep velocity gradient across the SMC but do not prove that the SMC is rotating.
