X-Ray, Radio, Massive Star Cluster Outflows

Scientific paper

This conference juxtaposes observations from nearly opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is especially appropriate to consider the conceptual value of analyzing physical phenomena in relief against opposite extremes of limiting assumptions. Colliding stellar winds and supernovae that blow large bubbles in rich star-forming regions provide ample opportunity for this approach, and this review considers the contrasting roles of thermal versus non-thermal emission, adiabatic versus radiative cooling, homogeneous versus clumpy structure, and ram pressure versus magnetic flow confinement, in this general context. An irony of such a yin/yang approach is that it too has contrasting advantages and disadvantages, since juxtaposing opposites on the one hand helps us see in high-definition contrast, but on the other hand is essentially an effort to understand an elephant from just its signature trunk and tail without the many significant details in between. Effective use of this approach must keep in mind both the advantages and limitations of thinking in simplified extremes.
