Abstract

We study star formation driven outflows in a z0.02z\sim0.02 starbursting disk galaxy, IRAS08339+6517, using spatially resolved measurements from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI). We develop a new method incorporating a multi-step process to determine whether an outflow should be fit in each spaxel, and then subsequently decompose the emission line into multiple components. We detect outflows ranging in velocity, voutv_{\rm out}, from 100600100-600 km s1^{-1} across a range of star formation rate surface densities, ΣSFR\Sigma_{\rm SFR}, from \sim0.01-10 M_\odot yr1^{-1} kpc2^{-2} in resolution elements of a few hundred parsec. Outflows are detected in 100%\sim100\% of all spaxels within the half-light radius, and 70%\sim70\% within r90r_{90}, suggestive of a high covering fraction for this starbursting disk galaxy. Around 2/32/3 of the total outflowing mass originates from the star forming ring, which corresponds to <10%<10\% of the total area of the galaxy. We find that the relationship between voutv_{\rm out} and the ΣSFR\Sigma_{\rm SFR}, as well as between the mass loading factor, η\eta, and the ΣSFR\Sigma_{\rm SFR}, are consistent with trends expected from energy-driven feedback models. We study the resolution effects on this relationship and find stronger correlations above a re-binned size-scale of 500\sim500 pc. Conversely, we do not find statistically significant consistency with the prediction from momentum-driven winds.
