We present spatially resolved Keck/LRIS spectroscopy of three clumpy star-forming galaxies at $z\sim0.1$, comparing outflow properties traced by H$\alpha$ and Mg II emission with those probed by Mg II and Na I D absorption. Outflow…

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 12CO(1-0) and 12CO(2-1) in the central 40" (680 pc) of the nuclear starburst galaxy NGC 253, including its molecular outflow. We measure the ratio of brightness…

Absorption-line spectroscopy of multiply-lensed QSOs near a known foreground galaxy provides a unique opportunity to go beyond the traditional one-dimensional application of QSO probes and establish a crude three-dimensional (3D) map of…

We present ALMA observations of SiO, SiS, H$_2$O , NaCl, and SO line emission at ~30 to 50 mas resolution. These images map the molecular outflow and disk of Orion Source I (SrcI) on ~12 to 20 AU scales. Our observations show that the flow…

HH 212 is a Class 0 protostellar system found to host a "hamburger"-shaped dusty disk with a rotating disk atmosphere and a collimated SiO jet at a distance of ~ 400 pc. Recently, a compact rotating outflow has been detected in SO and SO2…

Past X-ray observations of the nearby luminous quasar PDS 456 (at $z=0.184$) have revealed a wide angle accretion disk wind (Nardini et al. 2015), with an outflow velocity of $\sim-0.25c$, as observed through observations of its…

Stellar mergers produce explosive outflows that serve as transient sources of IR line luminosity and inject mechanical energy early into the natal molecular cloud. We present the first velocity-resolved maps of the [O I] 63 and 145 um…

Molecular line observations that could resolve protoplanetary disks of ~100 AU both spatially and kinematically would be a useful tool to unambiguously identify these disks and to determine their kinematical and physical characteristics. In…

The feedback from galactic outflows is thought to play an important role in shaping the gas content, star formation history, and ultimately the stellar mass function of galaxies. Here we present evidence for massive molecular outflows…

Ultravoilet (UV) absorption lines provide abundant spectroscopic information enabling the probe of the physical conditions in AGN outflows, but the outflow radii (and the energetics consequently) can only be determined indirectly. In this…
