Superbubbles in Dwarf Galaxies: Blown Out or Blown Away?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We numerically model the impact of superbubbles produced by starbursts on the gas in dwarf galaxies, using realistic gravitational potentials including the contributions from dark matter haloes, and galaxy radii based on empirical laws. We find that the metal-rich gas is very efficiently ejected in many cases, contradicting previous results; the ambient gas is far more difficult to eject. X-ray emitting plumes can last more than 108 yr after the end of the active starburst.
