Self-ionizing Galactic Winds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract We present hydrodynamical simulations of galactic winds from star-forming galaxies including nonequilibrium ionization and frequency-dependent radiative transfer, processes that have remained largely unaccounted for in galactic wind studies.

Galactic winds and the symmetry properties of galactic magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2010
Context. Contemporary studies of the symmetry properties of galactic magnetic fields contain two contradictory ideas. There are observational and theoretical hints that large-scale magnetic fields are symmetric with respect to the galactic plane in the disc, and antisymmetric in the halo.

Time-dependent galactic winds

open access: yes, 2019
Cosmic rays (CRs) are transported out of the galaxy by diffusion and advection due to streaming along magnetic field lines and resonant scattering off self-excited Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) waves. Thus momentum is transferred to the plasma via the frozen-in waves as a mediator assisting the thermal pressure in driving a galactic wind.

An Analytic Model of Galactic Winds and Mass Outflows [PDF]

open access: yesChinese Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2005
Galactic winds and mass outflows are observed both in nearby starburst galaxies and in high-redshift star-forming galaxies. We develop a simple analytic model to understand the observed superwind phenomenon with a discussion of the model uncertainties. Our model is built upon the model of McKee & Ostriker for the interstellar medium.

When are galactic winds molecular?

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT The molecular phase of supernova-driven outflows originates from the cold, molecular gas in the disc of a star-forming galaxy, and may carry a substantial fraction of the wind mass flux in some galaxies, but it remains poorly understood.

Dust entrainment in galactic winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Winds driven by stellar feedback are an essential part of the galactic ecosystem and are the main mechanism through which low-mass galaxies regulate their star formation.

X-Ray Properties of NGC 253's Starburst-driven Outflow

open access: yesThe 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.
