History of individual presolar SiC grains revealed by stellar winds [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAsymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, which are evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars, rank among the most prolific producers of interstellar dust in the Galaxy. Presolar silicon carbide (SiC) grains in meteorites are mainly produced by AGB stars. These

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The [O iii ] 5007 Å emission line is the most common tracer of warm, ionized outflows in active galactic nuclei across cosmic time. JWST newly allows us to use mid-IR spectral features at both high spatial and spectral resolution to probe these same ...

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

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).

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

A Global Inventory of Feedback
Galaxies, 2023 Feedback from both supermassive black holes and massive stars plays a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. In this paper, we use available data to estimate the total amount of kinetic energy and momentum created ...

First Statistical Detection of Mg ii-traced Cool Gas Outflows with JWST toward Cosmic Dawn
The Astrophysical Journal LettersGalactic-scale outflows are a crucial component of galaxy evolution, yet their properties in the early Universe remain poorly constrained. We present the first statistical investigation of Mg ii -traced cool gas outflows in galaxies spanning a wide ...
