Dust-to-Gas Ratios of the GALFA-HI Compact Cloud Catalog

We have searched for infrared dust emission from subsets of compact, Galactic neutral hydrogen clouds, with the purpose of looking for dust in high-velocity clouds, identifying low-velocity halo clouds, and investigating the cloud populations defined in the GALFA-HI Compact Cloud Catalog. We do not detect dust emission from high-velocity clouds. The lack of dust emission from a group of low-velocity clouds supports the claim that they are low-velocity halo clouds. We detect dust in the remaining low-velocity clouds, indicating a Galactic origin, with a significantly greater dust-to-gas ratio for clouds with linewidths near 15 km/s. We propose that this is due to dust associated with ionized gas.
