The Milky Way system as a laboratory to understand the role of galactic winds in galaxy evolution
Massive stars and black holes in galaxies work together to launch multiphase, gaseous winds at velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second. These galactic winds play a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies, as they regulate the formation of new stars by transferring gas from the disk to the surroundings. Despite the recognised importance of these phenomena, the physical processes behind them and their actual impact on the life of different types of galaxies are still unclear, mainly because observations in external galaxies lack the spatial resolution to study in detail these winds and to constrain theoretical models. This ERC project will rectify this situation by using the…
