Using commissioning data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have been mapped with ten times the resolution of before. Cold H i outflows are found to extend some 2 kpc from the SMC bar, containing up to 3% of the galaxy’s atomic mass. These will probably be stripped by interactions with neighbouring galaxies.
