Dust in the Smith Cloud? A UV Investigation into the Smith Cloud’s Gas-phase Abundance Patterns

The Smith Cloud is a high-velocity cloud (HVC) on its final approach to the Milky Way that shows evidence of interaction with the Galaxy’s disk. We investigate the metallicity and gas-phase chemical depletion patterns in this HVC using UV absorption-line observations toward two background QSOs taken...
