Scientific paper

Results are presented for a preliminary study of two high-positive-velocity H I cloud complexes based on 21-cm observations. A previously unreported cloud is discovered in the region around galactic latitude 267 deg, galactic longitude 26 deg; contours of the H I column density in this region are plotted. A Gaussian analysis of low-noise line profiles for two of the three observed clouds reveals a double component structure similar to that found in high-negative-velocity clouds. It is suggested that the internal structure of both high-positive-velocity and high-negative-velocity H I clouds can be explained with similar physical descriptions. The results are discussed in connection with the proposed association between these high-positive-velocity clouds and the Magellanic Stream.
