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 ...

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.

X-Ray Properties of NGC 253's Starburst-driven Outflow
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We analyze image and spectral data from ≈365 ks of observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the nearby, edge-on starburst galaxy NGC 253 to constrain properties of the hot phase of the outflow.

What Are the Radial Distributions of Density, Outflow Rates, and Cloud Structures in the M82 Wind?
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Galactic winds play essential roles in the evolution of galaxies through the feedback they provide. Despite intensive studies of winds, the radial distributions of their properties and feedback are rarely observable. Here we present such measurements for

CLASSY. VI. The Density, Structure, and Size of Absorption-line Outflows in Starburst Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Galaxy formation and evolution are regulated by the feedback from galactic winds. Absorption lines provide the most widely available probe of winds.

Resolved Velocity Profiles of Galactic Winds at Cosmic Noon
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study the kinematics of the interstellar medium (ISM) viewed “down the barrel” in 20 gravitationally lensed galaxies during cosmic noon ( z = 1.5–3.5).

Magnetic Fields Around Galactic Discs
Galaxies, 2019 Magnetic fields in the discs of spiral galaxies are quite well understood, although, of course, many details still require investigation and future observations with new generations of radio telescopes will be valuable here.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report on the discovery of a rare case of spatially and kinematically resolved galactic-scale outflow at intermediate redshift based on VLT/MUSE optical integral field spectroscopic observation of the quasar HE 0238–1904.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) above the knee in the spectrum is an unsolved problem. We present a wind model in which interstellar gas flows along a nonrotating, expanding flux tube with a changing speed and cross-sectional area.

Simulating winds in the Galactic centre
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe centre of the Milky Way (MW) hosts powerful multiphase outflows, as evidenced by the Fermi and eROSITA bubbles, and by cold atomic hydrogen (HI) gas clouds detected up to a few kiloparsecs above the disc.
