Energetic outflows in luminous infrared galaxies. (1993). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 27(1), 191-194. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1993rmxaa..27..191s
Abstract
The authors have obtained wide-field Fabry-Perot observations of the starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253 in several strong emission lines (Hα, [N II]λ6583, [O III]λ5007, Hβ). These remarkable data reveal that the minor axis optical filaments, presumably associated with "galactic winds", are highly energetic (≡1055ergs) and display complex behavior. The authors have also obtained deep B, R, I, and Hα imagery of M82, in order to more carefully examine spatial details of the filamentary structure. These data provide both detailed kinematic information and emission-line diagnostics for modeling the outflow.Similar Articles
