Scientific paper

We propose to observe 13 nearby edge-on disk galaxies for a total exposure of 604ks. These, together with archival data, will enable us to conduct a systematic X-ray survey of 32 such galaxies, which will also be observed with EVLA in an approved 405hr large program. The combination of these radio/X-ray data will enable an unprecedented study of galactic feedback from AGN, SF and evolved stars, particularly in terms of the interplay of hot gas outflows with magnetic fields and cosmic-rays in regulating the galactic ecosystem. Specifically, we will examine the origins, context and dynamics of the flows and their relationships to the galaxy mass, SFR and environment. Understandings of these issues in nearby galaxies will serve as a benchmark for the study of similar processes in more distant galaxies.
