XRISM RESOLVE observation 300068010

Title

DIRECT VELOCITY MEASUREMENT OF X-RAY EMITTING HOT GAS IN STARBURST-DRIVEN OUTFLOWS IN M82 AND NGC 253 WITH XRISM/RESOLVE

Abstract

Observational facts that metals in the intergalactic medium are found at low and high redshifts suggest that some part of all metals ever created now reside outside galaxies. Galactic-scale starburst-driven outflows are one of the best-studied and most common form of outflow capable of transporting substantial amount of materials inside galaxies into intergalactic space. To verify the scenario, we propose to observe the most prominent nearby galactic-scale starburst phenomena occurred around the nuclear regions of M82 and NGC253. Resolve observations would realize direct measurements of outflow velocity for X-ray emitting hot gas which is a link between galaxies and intergalactic space and the results would yield new insights in the both chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe.
