银河系风和大质量恒星所扮演的角色

Galactic Winds and the Role Played by Massive Stars

Timothy M. Heckman, Todd A. Thompson

摘要:

来自恒星形成星系的星系风在星系和星系间介质的演化中起着关键作用。它们将金属运出星系,使星系间介质化学富集,并改变星系的化学演化。它们影响周围的星际和环星系介质,从而通过气体吸积和恒星形成影响星系的生长。在这篇文章中,我们首先总结了大质量恒星和相关超新星的动量和能量输出可以驱动星系风的物理机制。我们用M82的原型例子来说明星系风的多相性。然后,我们描述了如何从数据中推导出星系风的基本性质,并总结了星系风的性质如何随发射它们的星系的性质而系统地变化。最后,我们简要讨论了银河风的广泛影响。

英文摘要:

Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies play at key role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. They transport metals out of galaxies, chemically-enriching the inter-galactic medium and modifying the chemical evolution of galaxies. They affect the surrounding inter-stellar and circum-galactic media, thereby influencing the growth of galaxies through gas accretion and star-formation. In this contribution we first summarize the physical mechanisms by which the momentum and energy output from a population of massive stars and associated supernovae can drive galactic winds. We use the proto-typical example of M82 to illustrate the multiphase nature of galactic winds. We then describe how the basic properties of galactic winds are derived from the data, and summarize how the properties of galactic winds vary systematically with the properties of the galaxies that launch them. We conclude with a brief discussion of the broad implications of galactic winds.
