    Abstract

    In the spectra of 139 early-type Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) stars observed with Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and with deep radio Parkes H I 21 cm observations along with those stars, we search for and analyze the absorption and emission from high-velocity gas at +90 ≤ v LSR ≤ +175 km s–1. The H I column density of the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) along these sightlines ranges from 106 M ) HVC complex that is linked to stellar feedback occurring in a dwarf spiral galaxy.
