Supernova-driven galactic outflows play a vital but still poorly-understood role in galactic chemical evolution, and one of the largest uncertainties about them is the extent to which they consist of supernova ejecta that are unmixed, or…
Feedback from supernovae is an essential aspect of galaxy formation. In order to improve subgrid models of feedback we perform a series of numerical experiments to investigate how supernova explosions power galactic winds. We use the Flash…

Stellar-driven galactic winds are multiphase outflows of energy and matter connecting the interstellar and circumgalactic media (CGM) with the intergalactic medium. Galactic winds contain a hot and diffuse phase detected in X-rays, and a…
