Scientific paper

Dwarf galaxies play an important role in hierarchical models of galaxy assembly. Starburst-driven winds strongly influence their evolution by regulating the star formation rate, transporting metal-enriched gas into the intergalactic medium, and possibly altering galactic halo structure. The hot phase of the wind is difficult to distinguish from other emission components due to the small size of dwarf galaxies, so CXO observations can make an enormous impact on this field. We request CXO observations of five nearby dwarf galaxies with ACIS-S3. These data will more than double the number of dwarf galaxies with spatially resolved emission components. We have selected X-ray bright galaxies with starburst activity and compiled a multi-wavelength database to support the data analysis.
