The hot, X-ray-emitting phase of the circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies is believed to be the reservoir of baryons from which gas flows onto the central galaxy and into which feedback from AGN and stars inject mass, momentum, energy,…

Galactic outflows from local starburst galaxies typically exhibit a layered geometry, with cool $10^4\,$K flow sheathing a hotter $10^7\,$K, cylindrically-collimated, X-ray emitting plasma. Here, we argue that winds driven by…
