The Ionization and Dynamics of the Makani Galactic Wind

The Makani galaxy hosts the poster child of a galactic wind on scales of the circumgalactic medium. It consists of a two-episode wind in which the slow, outer wind originated 400 Myr ago (Episode I; R _I = 20 − 50 kpc) and the fast, inner wind is 7 Myr old (Episode II; R _II = 0 − 20 kpc). While thi...
