Gamma Rays from Large-Scale Outflows in Starburst Galaxies

arXiv:1912.07969

Abstract

The combined effects of supernova explosions and stellar winds produce a hot bubble in the central regions of starburst galaxies. As the bubble expands, it can outbreak into the galactic halo driving a superwind that transports hot gas and fields to the intergalactic space. We present estimates of cosmic ray generation and gamma-ray emission in both this large-scale wind and the bow shocks created around the embedded clouds.
