Abstract (from CDS):

We present an analysis of the gas outflow energetics from KMOS observations of ∼ 529 main-sequence star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1 using broad, underlying H α and forbidden lines of [N II] and [S II]. Based on the stacked spectra for a sample with median star-formation rates and stellar masses of SFR = 7 M yr–1 and M* = (1.0 ± 0.1) x 1010 M, respectively, we derive a typical mass outflow rate of {dot}M_ wind_ = 1-4 M yr–1 and a mass loading of {dot}M_ wind_/ SFR = 0.2-0.4. By comparing the kinetic energy in the wind with the energy released by supernovae, we estimate a coupling efficiency between the star formation and wind energetics of ε ∼ 0.03. The mass loading of the wind does not show a strong trend with star-formation rate over the range ∼ 2-20 M yr–1, although we identify a trend with stellar mass such that dM/ dt/ SFR ∝ M*^0.26±0.07^. Finally, the line width of the broad H α increases with disc circular velocity with a sub-linear scaling relation FWHMbroad ∝ v^0.21 ± 0.05^. As a result of this behaviour, in the lowest mass galaxies (M* <= 1010 M), a significant fraction of the outflowing gas should have sufficient velocity to escape the gravitational potential of the halo whilst in the highest mass galaxies (M* >= 1010 M) most of the gas will be retained, flowing back on to the galaxy disc at later times.
