Title: Outflows from galaxies: shocks and surprises
Biman Nath, Raman Research Institute, Bangalore, India
Abstract: Outflows from galaxies enrich the intergalactic medium and
play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. The standard scenario
of outflows from galaxies has been that of gas driven by thermal
pressure of the interstellar medium which is heated by multiple supernovae.
Recent observations of galactic outflows have shown that other
mechanisms such as radiation pressure and cosmic rays may also be
important. I will discuss some new results on the interplay between these
processes, as well as the interaction of the outflowing gas with the halo
gas and how it affects the nature of outflows.
