The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres – II. The formation of high-velocity clouds
Abstract Whether high-velocity clouds (HVCs) can form by condensation of the hot ($T \sim 10^6 \, {\rm K}$) Galactic corona as a consequence of thermal instabilities has been controversial. Here, we re-examine this problem and we suggest that rotation of the corona might be a missing key ingredient....
