Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies play at key role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. They transport metals out of galaxies, chemically-enriching the inter-galactic medium and modifying the chemical evolution of galaxies. They affect the surrounding inter-stellar and circum-galactic media, thereby influencing the growth of galaxies through gas accretion and star-formation. In this contribution we first summarize the physical mechanisms by which the momentum and energy output from a population of massive stars and associated supernovae can drive galactic winds. We use the proto-typical example of M82 to illustrate the multiphase nature of galactic winds. We then describe how the basic properties of galactic winds are derived from the data, and summarize how the properties of galactic winds vary systematically with the properties of the galaxies that launch them. We conclude with a brief discussion of the broad implications of galactic winds.

  1. Subaru meets JWST: A Direct Measurement of Ly$\boldsymbol{\alpha}$ Escape Fraction at $\boldsymbol{z\simeq6.2}$ with Dual Narrow-Band Imaging

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Completeness-weighted stacking of 56 HAEs at z≃6.2 gives median f_esc^Lyα = 0.106^{+0.066}_{-0.044} with no strong Hα-luminosity dependence and UV-linked galaxy-to-galaxy trends.

  2. Resolving the Multiphase Outflow, Shock Signatures, and PAHs in the AGN-Starburst Composite ULIRG F10565+2448 with JWST MIRI/MRS

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    JWST observations resolve multiphase nuclear and kpc-scale outflows with velocities up to 520 km/s and PAH property gradients in the AGN-starburst composite ULIRG F10565+2448.

  3. Simba Simulation: The Effect of Feedback Physics on Matter Distribution in the Cosmic Web

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Simba simulations find that IGM gas fractions in cosmic web structures vary by only a few percent across feedback variants, while jet feedback noticeably enhances diffuse gas on the outskirts of filaments and knots.
