Abstract

I developed a method to determine theoretical distances to the High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs), based on the idea that the HVCs were ejected from the Magellanic Clouds in a relatively short period of time as a consequence of the collision between the Large (LMC) and Small Magellanic Clouds (SMC). The present spatial position of each HVCs was obtained by calculating its orbit with the initial condition that the each HVCs was simultaneously launched from the LMC at the time and position of the LMC-SMC encounter.
