• The H75 array of the ATCA was used to observe a 250 deg2 region at the head of the Magellanic Stream
• July & August 2005
• 100 hours observing time

Future Work
• Much to be done!
• Results thus far are very promising!
• Spatial Power Spectrum (SPS)
• Extend velocity analysis, including velocity
dispersion
• Search for HI shells and holes
• Statistically compare the cool and warm gas
• Investigate data from other wavelengths,
particularly H, IR and UV
