We present new optical images ($B$, $V$, and H$\alpha$) of the archetypical starburst/superwind galaxy M82 obtained with the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope to reveal new detailed structures of the superwind-driven nebula and the high-latitude dark…

The edge-on starburst galaxy M82 exhibits complicated distributions of gaseous materials in its halo, which include ionized superwinds driven by nuclear starbursts, neutral materials entrained by the superwinds, and large-scale neutral…

M82 is an archetypal starburst galaxy in the local Universe. The central burst of star formation, thought to be triggered by M82's interaction with other members in the M81 group, is driving a multiphase galaxy-scale wind away from the…

We have analyzed Chandra High Resolution Camera observations of the starburst galaxy M82, concentrating on the most luminous x-ray source. We find a position for the source of $\rm R.A. = 09^h 55^m 50^s.2, decl. = +69^{\circ} 40\arcmin…

The M82 `cap' is a gas cloud at a projected radius of 11.6 kpc along the minor axis of this well known superwind source. The cap has been detected in optical line emission and X-ray emission and therefore provides an important probe of the…

Using the IRAM interferometer, we have observed the nearby starburst galaxy M82 with a 4.2" resolution (~70 pc) in the 1->0 line of 13CO and in the 2.6-mm continuum. The spatial distribution of the 13CO line shows the same gross features as…
