Properties of Galactic Outflows Driven by Starburst at Cosmic Noon: Insights from Hydrodynamical Simulations

Researchers used high-resolution 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study galactic outflows driven by starbursts in low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon (z~1 to z~2). The models reproduced multiphase outflows with velocities up to 1000 km/s and mass loading factors up to 6.26, showing how initial gas fraction and disk compactness influence the intensity of these outflows.
