Description |
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 supernovae. Recent observations of galactic outflows have shown that other mechanisms such as radiation pressure and cosmic rays may also be of importance. The talk will focus on the interplay between these processes. |
