Galactic Dynamos and Galactic Winds
Spiral galaxies host dynamically important magnetic fields which can affect gas flows in the disks and halos. Total magnetic fields in spiral galaxies are strongest (up to 30 μG) in the spiral arms where they are mostly turbulent or tangled. Polarized synchrotron emission shows that the resolved regular fields are generally strongest in the interarm regions (up to 15 μG). Faraday rotation measu...
متن کاملHow do galactic winds affect the Lyα forest?
We investigate the effect of galactic winds on the Lyα forest in cosmological simulations of structure and galaxy formation. We combine high resolution N-body simulations for the evolution of the dark matter with a semi-analytic model for the formation and evolution of galaxies which includes detailed prescriptions for the long-term evolution of galactic winds. We find that the main statistical...
متن کاملEchoes of Galactic Supernovae
Light echoes from ancient supernova offer a unique and powerful opportunity to study supernovae and their relationships to supernova remnants (SNRs), as well as interstellar dust and Galactic structure. The use of this relatively simple phenomenon of light echoes in such studies is just now developing into an exciting new field of study. This is one of the very rare occasions in astronomy that ...
متن کاملGalactic Winds: Near and Far
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.
متن کاملMetal Enrichment in Galactic Winds
Observations give evidences of the presence of metals in the intergalactic medium (IGM). The stars responsible for transforming hydrogen and helium into more complex atoms do not form outside the galaxies in the standard scenario of galaxy formation. Supernovae– driven winds and their associated feedback was proposed as a possible solution to explain such enrichment of the IGM. It turned out th...
