High speed outflows driven by the 30 Doradus starburst
Echelle spectroscopy has been carried out towards a sample region of the halo of the giant H ii region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This new kinematical data is the amongst the most sensitive yet obtained for this nebula and reveals a wealth of faint, complex high speed features. These are interpreted in terms of localised shells due to individual stellar winds and supernova explos...
متن کاملStarburst–driven galactic outflows
We propose a model of starburst–driven galactic outflows whose dynamics depends on both radiation and thermal pressure. Standard models of thermal pressure–driven winds fail to explain some key observations of outflows at low and high redshift galaxies. We discuss a scenario in which radiation pressure from massive stars in a stellar population drive a shell of gas and dust. Subsequent supernov...
متن کاملAn excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst.
The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analog of large star-formation events in the distant universe. We determined the recent formation history and the initial mass function (IMF) of massive stars in 30 Doradus on the basis of spectroscopic observations of 247 stars more massive than 15 solar masses ([Formula: see text]). The main episode of massive star f...
متن کاملDust outflows from starburst galaxies
We present submillimeter SCUBA images of the nearby, starburst galaxies NGC 253, NGC 4631 and M82 (primarily at wavelengths of 450 and 850 μm). The edge-on orientation of our targets, in conjunction with the resolution of the instrument (15′′ FWHM at 850 μm), allows us to probe the optically-obscured centre and resolve the minor-axis superwind from the main disk. For NGC 253 and M82, we detect ...
متن کاملThe ionising cluster of 30 Doradus ⋆
On the basis of multislit spectroscopy of 180 stars in the ionising cluster of 30 Doradus we present reliable radial velocities for 55 stars. We calculate a radial velocity dispersion of ∼ 35 km s −1 for the cluster and we analyse the possible influence of spectroscopic binaries in this rather large velocity dispersion. We use numerical simulations to show that the observations are consistent w...
