Far-Ultraviolet Observations of Starburst Galaxies with FUSE: Galactic Feedback in the Local Universe
J. P. Grimes, T. M. Heckman, A. Aloisi +6
We have analysed FUSE far-UV spectra of a sample of 16 local starbursts. These galaxies span ranges of almost three orders-of-magnitude in star formation rate and over two orders-o…
Average Properties of a Large Sample of z_abs ~ z_em associated Mg II Absorption Line Systems
D. Vanden Berk, P. Khare, D. G. York +16
We have studied a sample of 415 associated (z_ab z_em; relative velocity with respect to QSO <3000km/s) Mg II absorption systems with 1.0<=z_ab<=1.86, in the spectra of SDSS DR3 QS…
A Search for Extended Ultraviolet Disk (XUV-disk) Galaxies in the Local Universe
David A. Thilker, Luciana Bianchi, Gerhardt Meurer +26
We have initiated a search for extended ultraviolet disk (XUV-disk) galaxies in the local universe. Herein, we compare GALEX UV and visible--NIR images of 189 nearby (D40 Mpc) S…
Metals in the Neutral Interstellar Medium of Starburst Galaxies
A. Aloisi, T. M. Heckman, C. G. Hoopes +3
Thanks to their proximity, local starbursts are perfectly suited for high-resolution and sensitivity multiwavelength observations aimed to test our ideas about star formation, evol…
Evolution of Thermal Conducting Clouds Embedded in Galactic Winds
A. Marcolini, D. K. Strickland, A. D'Ercole +1
We performed high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of dense cool clouds embedded in supernova-driven galactic superwinds. Here we present preliminary results of our reference…
Starbursts in the Far-Ultraviolet
Timothy M. Heckman
Starbursts are a significant component of the present-day universe, and offer unique laboratories for studying the processes that have regulated the formation and evolution of gala…
