Galactic Winds: Near and Far
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiwavelength data on star-forming galaxies provide strong evidence for large-scale galactic winds in both nearby and distant objects. The results from recent ground-based and space-borne programs are reviewed. The impact of these winds on the host galaxies and the surrounding environment is discussed in the context of galaxy evolution.

Multiwavelength Observations of Galactic Winds: Near and Far
This paper provides a critical discussion of the observational evidence for winds in our own Galaxy, in nearby star-forming and active galaxies, and in the high-redshift universe. The implications of galactic winds on the formation and evolution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium are briefly discussed. A number of observational challenges are mentioned to inspire future research directions.
متن کاملAn Integral Field Spectroscopic Study of Galactic Winds in (U)LIRGs
I propose to carry out a multi-wavelength integral field study of galactic winds to determine the relationship between properties of winds and their hosts. The study of galactic scale winds is a new and growing field. Detailed studies of individual galaxies and their outflows are showing that galactic winds can have a profound effect on their host galaxies and may be part of the solution to sev...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Seeding by Galactic Winds
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 magnetic fields observed today in clusters...
متن کاملThe impact of galactic winds from LBGs on the Intergalactic Medium
An excess of sight-lines close to Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) with little or no absorption in QSO absorption spectra has been reported and has been interpreted as the effect of galactic winds on the Intergalactic Medium. We use here numerical simulations to investigate the flux probability function close to plausible sites of LBGs. We show that the flux distribution near our LBGs in the simulat...
متن کاملA stellar feedback origin for neutral hydrogen in high-redshift quasar-mass haloes
Observations reveal that quasar host haloes at z ∼ 2 have large covering fractions of cool dense gas ( 60 per cent for Lyman limit systems within a projected virial radius). Most simulations have so far failed to explain these large observed covering fractions. We analyse a new set of 15 simulated massive haloes with explicit stellar feedback from the FIRE project, covering the halo mass range ...
