Journal ArticleDOI
Galactic Winds
TL;DR: Galactic winds are the primary mechanism by which energy and metals are recycled in galaxies and are deposited into the intergalactic medium New observations are revealing the ubiquity of this process, particularly at high redshift as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The SAMI Galaxy Survey as discussed by the authors is a 3-year survey of 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-Object Integral Field Spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Are the Narrow-Line Regions in Active Galaxies Dusty and Radiation Pressure Dominated?
TL;DR: In this article, dust and the radiation pressure acting upon it provide the controlling factor in moderating the density, excitation, and surface brightness of photoionized narrow line regions (NLRs) structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jet- and wind-driven ionized outflows in the superbubble and star-forming disk of NGC 3079
TL;DR: In this paper, WFPC2 images are presented that span the inner ~19 kpc diameter of the edge-on galaxy NGC 3079; they are combined with optical, emission-line imaging spectrophotometry and VLA images of radio polarization vectors and rotation measures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Hawaii Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (HIFI) at the CFH 3.6 m telescope to map H-alpha + (N II) lambda-lambda 6548, 6583 emission-line profiles across the entire edge-on, nearby SBc galaxy NGC 3079, with resolution 70 km/s and subarcsecond sampling.
