摘要:

两个巨大的等离子体瓣,被称为费米泡,在银河系中心上下延伸10千秒差距。自2003年在X射线中发现(以及2010年在伽马射线中发现)以来,气泡已被认为是我们银河系的一种新形态特征,也是来自核区域的能量反馈的一个引人注目的例子。它们仍然是密集研究的主题,它们的起源是通过活动星系核活动还是核恒星形成仍然存在争议。虽然伽马射线,X射线,微波和无线电波长的成像揭示了它们的形态和能量,但无线电和紫外波长的光谱学最近被用来研究嵌入气泡(核风)中的外流气体云的运动学和化学丰度。在这里,我们确定了从光谱研究中出现的科学主题,确定了关键的开放问题,并描述了未来十年内需要进一步观测的基本物理条件,在核风及其对银河系其他部分的影响。核风在星系中无处不在,银河系中心是研究核风的构成和结构的最佳机会。

英文摘要:

Two giant plasma lobes, known as the Fermi Bubbles, extend 10 kpc above and below the Galactic Center. Since their discovery in X-rays in 2003 (and in gamma-rays in 2010), the Bubbles have been recognized as a new morphological feature of our Galaxy and a striking example of energetic feedback from the nuclear region. They remain the subject of intense research and their origin via AGN activity or nuclear star formation is still debated. While imaging at gamma-ray, X-ray, microwave, and radio wavelengths has revealed their morphology and energetics, spectroscopy at radio and UV wavelengths has recently been used to study the kinematics and chemical abundances of outflowing gas clouds embedded in the Bubbles (the nuclear wind). Here we identify the scientific themes that have emerged from the spectroscopic studies, determine key open questions, and describe further observations needed in the next ten years to characterize the basic physical conditions in the nuclear wind and its impact on the rest of the Galaxy. Nuclear winds are ubiquitous in galaxies, and the Galactic Center represents the best opportunity to study the constitution and structure of a nuclear wind in close detail.
