Radiation pressure from massive star clusters as a launching mechanism for super-galactic winds

Galactic outflows of cool (similar to 10(4) K) gas are ubiquitous in local starburst galaxies and in most high-redshift galaxies. Hot gas from supernovae has long been suspected as the primary driver, but this mechanism suffers from its tendency to destroy the cool gas. We propose a modification of the supernova scenario that overcomes th...更多
