About the lecture
Galactic superwinds, common phenomena in galaxies, can release an extraordinary amount of energy and carry material over great distances. Their influence on the host galaxy can be very important, to the point that the formation of these “galactic hurricanes” can even determine the life of galaxies. Studying these phenomena gives us some keys to solving the puzzles of modern astronomy about the evolution of galaxies.
