Radial velocities of supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Abstract
This paper presents the kinematic results of a study, comparing Small Magellanic Cloud supergiants to galactic supergiants. The stars were chosen from the lists of Florsch (1972a) and Sanduleak (1968). A rough correlation is found between the radial velocities of the supergiants and the radial velocities of neutral hydrogen. In some cases a better relation exists with the radial velocities of the H II regions.
