Extract

In this talk I shall describe briefly some of the theoretical ideas of the origin of the Magellanic Stream and then give a more personal view of the results of model fitting.

The Magellanic Stream definitely seems to be an extragalactic feature: the apparent connection of the Stream to the Magellanic Clouds and the continuity of the radial velocity profiles make it highly implausible that the Stream is a local foreground feature.
