Scientific paper

Dwarf galaxies are ideal systems for studying the effects of the feedback of energy and metals into the ISM and IGM from star-formation. X-ray data are vital to study this process, as they probe the hot gas that contains the bulk of the energy and metals that may escape the galaxy in a starburst-driven outflow. We propose a program that will create a well-observed sample of the five brightest starbursting dwarf galaxies. We are also obtaining FUSE far-UV spectra of cooler coronal phase gas (10^5 < T(K) < 10^6) and high-quality XMM-Newton spectra of this sample. The combination of Chandra, XMM, and FUSE data will provide detailed insight into the thermal, dynamical, and chemical properties of the diffuse hot gas (and thus elucidate its origin and fate).
