A Review of the Theory of Galactic Winds Driven by Stellar Feedback
Galaxies, 2018 Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies are crucial to the process of galaxy formation and evolution, regulating star formation, shaping the stellar mass function and the mass-metallicity relation, and enriching the intergalactic medium with metals ...

Galactic Winds in the Intergalactic Medium [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We have performed hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the effects of galactic winds on the high-redshift (z=3) universe. Strong winds suppress the formation of low-mass galaxies significantly, and the metals carried by them produce C IV absorption lines with properties in reasonable agreement with observations. The winds have little effect on the

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2005 ▪ Abstract Galactic winds are the primary mechanism by which energy and metals are recycled in galaxies and are deposited into the intergalactic medium. New observations are revealing the ubiquity of this process, particularly at high redshift. We describe the physics behind these winds, discuss the observational evidence for them in nearby star ...

Dust Survival in Galactic Winds
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a suite of high-resolution numerical simulations to study the evolution and survival of dust in hot galactic winds. We implement a novel dust framework in the Cholla hydrodynamics code and use wind tunnel simulations of cool, dusty clouds to ...

Magnetic field seeding by galactic winds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 The origin of intergalactic magnetic fields is still a mystery and several scenarios have been proposed so far: among them, primordial phase transitions, structure formation shocks and galactic outflows. In this work we investigate how efficiently galactic winds can provide an intense and widespread "seed" magnetisation. This may be used to explain the

Cloud Properties in Simulated Galactic Winds
The Astrophysical JournalIn this work, we investigate the properties of a population of cool clouds in simulated galaxy outflows. Using data from the Cholla Galactic OutfLow Simulations (or CGOLS) isolated galaxy simulations, we generate catalogs of ∼10 ^5 clouds.

A Review of Recent Observations of Galactic Winds Driven by Star Formation
Galaxies, 2018 Galaxy-scale outflows of gas, or galactic winds (GWs), driven by energy from star formation are a pivotal mechanism for regulation of star formation in the current model of galaxy evolution.

How supernovae launch galactic winds? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2017 Abstract We use idealized three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of global galactic discs to study the launching of galactic winds by supernovae (SNe). The simulations resolve the cooling radii of the majority of supernova remnants (SNRs) and thus self-consistently capture how SNe drive galactic winds.

CONDITIONS FOR SUPERNOVAE-DRIVEN GALACTIC WINDS [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2013 We point out that the commonly assumed condition for galactic outflows, that supernovae (SNe) heating is efficient in the central regions of starburst galaxies, suffers from invalid assumptions. We show that a large filling factor of hot ($\ge 10^6$ K) gas is difficult to achieve through SNe heating, irrespective of the initial gas temperature and ...
