Observational constraints on stellar feedback in dwarf galaxies

MLM Collins, JI Read - Nature astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
Feedback to the interstellar medium from ionizing radiation, stellar winds and supernovae is
central to regulating star formation in galaxies. Owing to their low mass (< 109 solar …

INFERNO: Galactic winds in dwarf galaxies with star-by-star simulations including runaway stars

EP Andersson, O Agertz, F Renaud… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
