Scientific paper

In our model describing the leakage of ionizing radiation from the Galactic disk into the halo, disk stars can contribute substantially to the ionization of halo objects such as high-velocity clouds and the Magellanic stream. This ionization is produced by a relatively hard radiation field, which can maintain its ionizing effect even at a considerable distance from the plane of the disk.
