The broadband X-ray spectrum of the prototypical starburst galaxy M82 is very complex. At least three spectral components are required to fit the combined ROSAT and ASCA spectrum in the 0.1--10 keV range. The observed X-ray flux in this…
We utilize deep Chandra X-ray Observatory imaging and spectra of M82, the prototype of a starbursting galaxy with a multiphase wind, to map the hot plasma properties along the minor axis of the galaxy. We extract spectra from 11 regions up…
We present a spatial analysis of the soft X-ray and H{\alpha} emissions from the outflow of the starburst galaxy M82. We find that the two emissions are tightly correlated on various scales. The O VII triplet of M82, as resolved by X-ray…

Recently, the CANGAROO-II telescope detected diffuse TeV gamma-ray emission from a nearby edge-on starburst galaxy, NGC 253. The emission mechanism is discussed in this report. We review the emissions of radio-to-TeV gamma-rays from NGC…
Based on its strong CO+ emission it is argued that the M 82 star-burst galaxy is exposed to a combination of FUV and X-ray radiation. The latter is likely to be the result of the star-burst superwind, which leads to diffuse thermal emission…
We present the first spatially resolved, X-ray spectroscopic study of the 4-8 keV diffuse emission found in the central part of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 on a few arcsecond scales. The new details that we see allow a number of…
