High-energy processes in starburst-driven winds
arXiv:2006.12259 · doi:10.1093/mnras/staa1720
Abstract
Starburst galaxies generate large-scale winds powered by the activity in the star-forming regions located in the galactic disks. Fragmentation of the disk produced by the outbreak of the wind results in the formation of clouds. Bowshocks caused by the supersonic outflow appear around such clouds. In this paper we discuss the acceleration of relativistic particles and the production of non-thermal radiation in such scenario. Cosmic rays accelerated at the bowshocks do not reach the highest energies, although the high-energy luminosity generated is significant. We show that up to ~10% of the gamma-ray emission in starbursts might come from these sources outside the galactic disks. Discrete X-ray sources with a power-law component are also expected.
