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

A Survey for N V Absorption at z ≈ zGRB in GRB Afterglow Spectra: Clues to Gas Near the Progenitor Star
TL;DR: In this paper, the afterglow spectra of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were studied with the intent of studying highly ionized gas in the galaxies hosting these events.

In a hot bubble: why does superbubble feedback work, but isolated supernovae do not?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the behavior of isolated supernovae with the superbubbles driven by multiple collocated supernova and derive the spatial scale below which the energy needs to be deposited in order for it to couple to the interstellar medium.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of the mechanical power generated by both winds and jets across the black hole mass scale and find that the kinetic power of the winds, derived from these observed quantities, scales with increasing bolometric luminosity as log(Lwind,42/Cv) = (1.58 ± 0.19).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used WFC3 observations of the nearby grand design spiral galaxy M83 to develop two independent methods for estimating the ages of young star clusters, based on the simple premise that the gas in very young (tau 10 Myr) clusters.
