In this article, the detailed structure of the interaction of a strong stellar wind with the interstellar medium is presented, including the effects of thermal conduction between the hot interior and the cold shell of swept-up interstellar matter.Abstract:
The detailed structure of the interaction of a strong stellar wind with the interstellar medium is presented. First, an adiabatic similarity solution is given which is applicable at early times. Second, a similarity solution is derived which includes the effects of thermal conduction between the hot (about 1 million K) interior and the cold shell of swept-up interstellar matter. This solution is then modified to include the effects of radiative energy losses. The evolution of an interstellar bubble is calculated, including the radiative losses. The quantitative results for the outer-shell radius and velocity and the column density of highly ionized species such as O VI are within a factor 2 of the approximate results of Castor, McCray, and Weaver (1975). The effect of stellar motion on the structure of a bubble, the hydrodynamic stability of the outer shell, and the observable properties of the hot region and the outer shell are discussed.read more

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS IN THE LOW-IONIZATION COMPONENT OF STARBURST OUTFLOWS: THE SHAPE OF NEAR-ULTRAVIOLET AND OPTICAL ABSORPTION-LINE TROUGHS IN KECK SPECTRA OF ULIRGs
Crystal L. Martin,Nicolas Bouché +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physical conditions in the low-ionization component of starburst outflows were analyzed based on new Keck/LRIS spectroscopy of partially resolved absorption troughs in near-ultraviolet and optical spectra of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies.

The Presupernova H II Region around SN 1987A
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that the supernova shock is interacting with an H II region created by the B3 Ia progenitor star in the swept-up red supergiant wind.

A New Model For The Loop-I (The North Polar Spur) Region
TL;DR: In this paper, a model consisting of two synchrotron emitting shells is presented that reproduces large-scale structures revealed by recent polarization surveys, and two OB-associations coincide with the centers of the shells.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that galaxies consist of building blocks undergoing vigorous, feedback-driven life cycles that vary with the galactic environment and collectively define how galaxies form stars.
