Galactic Winds: Near and Far

Published: September 3, 2003Updated: September 15, 2003PDF arXiv

Abstract

Multiwavelength data on star-forming galaxies provide strong evidence for large-scale galactic winds in both nearby and distant objects. The results from recent ground-based and space-borne programs are reviewed. The impact of these winds on the host galaxies and the surrounding environment is discussed in the context of galaxy evolution.
