Scientific paper

NGC2782 is a starburst galaxy of particular note because of the stage of development of its superwind. NGC2782 shows clear evidence of a bipolar outflow, and its superwind is believed to be on the verge of breaking out into free-flow into the IGM. The southern lobe of the outflow appears to be still contained within a Halpha bubble, while the northern lobe has probably just ruptured. Consequently, this object is intermediate between mature superwinds (such as M82) and nascent superwinds still contained within the galaxy, and X-ray observations of this system will yield insights into the development of superwinds. Consequently, we propose to observe the superwind galaxy NGC2782 with the ACIS-S instrument on Chandra for 30ksec.
