The Small-scale Structures in the Wind of Messier 82
Yucheng Guo, Timothy Heckman, Sanchayeeta Borthakur +10
Small-scale multiphase structure plays a central role in galactic-wind evolution, yet the parsec-scale morphology and excitation of the warm ionised gas remain poorly constrained.…
JWST Observations of Starbursts: Dust Processing in the M82 Superwind
Serena A. Cronin, Alberto D. Bolatto, Helena M. Richie +39
We present JWST MIRI and NIRCam imaging of the inner ~5 kpc of the M82 superwind at 0.05-0.375'' (~0.9-6.5 pc) resolution. Targeted filters probe emission from polycyclic aromatic…
The Prevalence of Turbulence-Regulated Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies
Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8
We build upon our previously developed multi-ion radiative transfer (RT) framework, PEACOCK, to investigate the kinematic and energetic structure of cool-to-warm galactic winds in…
Kinematically Coherent Multiphase Galactic Winds in Star-Forming Galaxies Revealed by Unified Radiative Transfer Modeling of UV Emission and Absorption Lines
Zhihui Li, Timothy Heckman, Max Gronke +8
We present PEACOCK, a three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer (RT) framework designed to self-consistently model rest-frame ultraviolet emission and absorption lines arisi…
Dust Evolution in Simulated Multiphase Galactic Outflows
Helena M. Richie, Evan E. Schneider
We present the first large-scale, high-resolution simulations of dusty, star formation feedback-driven galactic outflows. Using the Cholla hydrodynamics code, we investigate dust s…
Effects of Numerical Resolution on Simulated Cloud-Wind Interactions
Hannah Leary, Helena M. Richie, Evan Schneider
Mixing by hydrodynamical instabilities plays a key role in cloud-wind interactions, causing cloud destruction in the adiabatic limit and facilitating cloud survival with efficient…
