The coming together of many specialists in the latter ?eld prompted the idea of compiling a book c- taining their contributions, and summarizing the status of our understanding of the high-velocity cloud phenomenon. This seemed especially worthwhile at the time, since many exciting developments were taking place. After the discovery of some H i clouds with high velocities, about 40 years ago, the subject had been dominated by 21-cm observations of H i emission. Starting in the mid-1980s much progress was being made because of the availability of new instruments, such as large ground-based optical telescopes and UV observatories in space. The connections between the work on high-velocity clouds and other studies of the properties of the (hot) interstellar medium also became clearer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283689660567,"sku":"9789048166855","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048166855.webp?v=1769305622","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/high-velocity-clouds-9789048166855","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
