Physical properties of two compact high-velocity clouds possibly associated with the leading arm of the Magellanic system

Aims.We observed two compact high-velocity clouds HVC 291+26+195 and HVC 297+09+253 to analyse their structure, dynamics, and physical parameters. In both cases there is evidence for an association with the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Clouds. The goal of our study is to learn more about the origin...
