Scientific paper

With an order-of-magnitude increase in spatial resolution over any previous or other current X-ray instrumentation, the Chandra X-ray Observatory is revolutionizing our understanding of the energetic gas in starburst-driven galactic outflows. I will present early results, both imaging and spectroscopic, from an ongoing survey of local edge-on L*-luminosity starburst galaxies using Chandra, discussing some of our work on the first 6 galaxies in the sample: NGC 253, M82, NGC 3079, NGC 3628, NGC 4631 and NGC 4945.
