Outflows are seen in local starbursts.

Outflows can be inferred through line offsets.

Given outflowing material between the observer and the galaxy:

Outflowing gas will be blueshifted with respect to nebular lines tracing star forming regions.

A variety of absorption lines are used to probe outflows.

A physical model for fitting absorption lines.
zsyszout Define a systemic reference frame, ideally from the LRIS spectra. Fit multiple emission lines ([OII], OIII, Balmer) using template spectra.
Simultaneous fit to 5 resonant FeII absorption linesWe use a single component fit with 4 free parameters:
covering fraction
op. depth at line center
line center
Doppler parameter (2½σ)
tilted OII lines(small fraction of

Blueshifted FeII absorption features are not ubiquitous in the sample.

Clumpy objects at high z – need a better area estimate that traces luminous regions.
16
A new technique for estimating galaxy areas.
Given “clumpy” galaxies:
Include only those pixels brighter than a certain luminosity threshold,
thereby flagging clumps.

Higher star-formation rate surface density objects show larger blueshifts.
No trend seen:

Composite spectra show same trends as individual objects.

Does this emission come from star forming regions or from outflows?

FeII* emission is prevalent.

The strongest FeII* emitters are bright and blue.
FeII* emission appears to be ubiquitous
