Scientific paper

Starburst winds are recognized as key elements in galaxy formation and evolution and as contributors to the chemical enrichment of the intergalactic medium (IGM) of groups and clusters. In groups the hot IGM may confine the wind, resulting in much reduced gas loss from the galaxy. No studies have been undertaken showing the effects of a confining medium on the wind. We propose to carry out the first observations of the structure of starburst winds in rich environments with Chandra. Comparison with wind properties of isolated starburst galaxies will permit us to establish the effects of a confining external medium. This will provide an important check on our understanding of the chemical and energetic evolution of bound systems, over scales ranging from small galaxies to clusters.
