Starburst-Driven Galactic `Superwinds'

这个项目是研究银河系尺度的“超级风”--质量 由超新星和风的集体效应驱动的外流 来自大质量恒星。 这一现象的观测证据 直到最近才被发现，这一点的重要性 对理解星系形成和演化的影响 星系间的介质非常大。 赫克曼博士， 活动星系核研究的领导者，将利用 长缝光学光谱和H-α成像， 直接测试一些与这些超级风有关的想法。

This project is a study of galactic-scale "superwinds" - mass outflows driven by the collective effect of supernovae and winds from massive stars. Observational evidence for this phenomena has only recently been uncovered, and the importance of this effect for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium is very large. Dr. Heckman, one of the leaders in the study of active galactic nuclei, will utilize both long-slit optical spectroscopy and H-alpha imaging to directly test a number of ideas related to these superwinds.
