Molecular Gas Outflow in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 1482

Abstract

Galactic winds are essential to regulation of star formation in galaxies. To study the distribution and dynamics of molecular gas in a wind, we imaged the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 1482 in CO ($J=1\to 0$) at a resolution of 1'' ($\approx 100$ pc) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. Molecular gas is detected in a nearly edge-on disk with a radius of 3 kpc and a biconical outflow emerging from the central 1 kpc starburst and extending to at least 1.5 kpc perpendicular to the disk. In the outflow, CO gas is distributed approximately as a cylindrically symmetrical envelope surrounding the warm and hot ionized gas traced by H$\alpha$ and soft X-rays. The velocity, mass outflow rate, and kinetic energy of the molecular outflow are $v_{\mathrm{w}}\sim 100\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$, ${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{w}}\sim 7M_{\odot }{\mathrm{yr}}^{-1}$, and $E_{\mathrm{w}}\sim 7\times 10^{54}\mathrm{erg}$, respectively. ${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{w}}$ is comparable to the star formation rate (${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{w}}/\mathrm{SFR}\sim 2$) and $E_{\mathrm{w}}$ is $\sim 1\%$ of the total energy released by stellar feedback in the past $1\times 10^7\mathrm{yr}$, which is the dynamical timescale of the outflow. The results indicate that the wind is starburst driven.
