Scientific paper

This joint Chandra/XMM-Newton mosaic of the massive star-forming region Westerhout 4 (W4) in the Perseus Arm chronicles the X-ray output of all aspects of high-mass stars: wind shocks near the stellar surface, wind-wind and wind-cloud shocks on parsec scales, triggered star formation, superbubbles, and chimneys. This study focuses on the feedback of the W4 complex on the interstellar medium, where stellar winds from the massive young cluster IC 1805 are re-energizing the famous W4 superbubble that triggered star formation in the adjacent W3 giant molecular cloud. W4 is the best Galactic example of the superbubble phenomenon and provides direct evidence that massive stellar clusters have a profound influence on galactic halos.
