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

Evolution of the X-Ray Luminosity and Metallicity of Starburst Blown Superbubbles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the time-dependent metal production expected from a starburst, and use it as a boundary condition in 2D simulations of evolving superbubbles, assuming that the produced metals (namely oxygen and iron) thoroughly mix with the ejected stellar envelopes, and/or with the matter thermally evaporated from the superbubble cold outer shell.

Evolution of supernovae-driven superbubbles with conduction and cooling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use spherically symmetric hydrodynamic simulations to study the dynamical evolution and internal structure of superbubbles driven by clustered supernovae (SNe), focusing on the effects of thermal conduction and cooling in the interface between the hot bubble interior and cooled shell.
