Interaction between the intergalactic medium and galactic outflows from dwarf galaxies.
MURAKAMI I. and BABUL A.
Abstract (from CDS):
In contrast, the relatively unhindered outflows in low-density, low-temperature environments can drive the shells of swept-up gas out to large distances from the galaxy. Such shells, if they intersect a quasar line of sight, would give rise to Lyα absorption lines of the kind seen in quasar spectra. In addition, the fact that outflows from low-mass galaxies can extend out to distances of 40kpc or more indicates that such galaxies may have played an important role in polluting the intergalactic medium with metals.
