Scientific paper

Galaxy merging is now widely believed to be an essential part of the process of galaxy formation. Gas loss powered by starbursts triggered during this process, can have a profound effect on the subsequent evolution of galaxies and of the surrounding intergalactic medium. An understanding of the processes by which such winds are triggered, and an estimate of the mass, metal and energy loss which results, can only be achieved by combining the capabilities of the two great X-ray observatories: Chandra and XMM. We propose a detailed study of an evolutionary sequence of four systems for which we already have approved XMM time, to resolve the structure and origin of merger-induced winds, as well as the galaxy source populations associated with giant starbursts.
