Abstract

We study star formation driven outflows in a starbursting disk galaxy, IRAS08339+6517, using spatially resolved measurements from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI). We develop a new method incorporating a multi-step process to determine whether an outflow should be fit in each spaxel, and then subsequently decompose the emission line into multiple components. We detect outflows ranging in velocity, , from km s across a range of star formation rate surface densities, , from 0.01-10 M yr kpc in resolution elements of a few hundred parsec. Outflows are detected in of all spaxels within the half-light radius, and within , suggestive of a high covering fraction for this starbursting disk galaxy. Around of the total outflowing mass originates from the star forming ring, which corresponds to of the total area of the galaxy. We find that the relationship between and the , as well as between the mass loading factor, , and the , are consistent with trends expected from energy-driven feedback models. We study the resolution effects on this relationship and find stronger correlations above a re-binned size-scale of pc. Conversely, we do not find statistically significant consistency with the prediction from momentum-driven winds.
