Anisotropic Outflows and IGM Enrichment
arXiv:astro-ph/0611576 · doi:10.1051/eas:2007040
Abstract
We have designed an analytical model for the evolution of anisotropic galactic outflows. These outflows follow the path of least resistance, and thus travel preferentially into low-density regions, away from cosmological structures where galaxies form. We show that anisotropic outflows can significantly enrich low-density systems with metals.
