Hot Gas and Outflows of Nearby Normal Galaxies
Q. Daniel Wang (UMass)
• Most of present galaxies are not nuclear starbursters
• Phenomena that would be otherwise overwhelmed– Disk/halo interaction– Bulge wind driven by Type Ia SNe– Accretion from the IGM
Subtle, but enduring strongly affect the evolution of galaxies

•Average T ~ 6 x 106 K
•Slight softening in the disk and in the outer bulge
•Strong Fe –L complex
•Lx ~ 4 x 1039 erg/s NGC 4631
Missing stellar feedback in early-type disk galaxies
• For NGC 4594, hot gas radiative cooling rate ~ 2% of LSN ~ 2.4 x 1041 ergs/s from Type Ia SNe alone
• Not much cool gas to hide or convert the SN energy
• Mass and metals are also missing!– Mass input rate of evolved stars
~ 1.3 Msun/yr– Each Type Ia SN 0.7 Msun Fe
Gone with the wind!
Bulge wind model
• Spherical, steady, and adiabatic • NFW Dark matter halo + stellar bulge• Energy and mass input follows the
stellar light distribution• CIE plasma emission• Implemented in XSPEC for both
projected spectral and radial surface brightness analyses

Consistent with the expected total mass loss and SN rates as well as the Fe abundance of ~ 4 x solar!

Conclusion
• At least two components of diffuse hot gas:– Disk – driven by massive star formation– Bulge – heated primarily by Type-Ia SNe
• There is so far little evidence for X-ray emission or absorption from IGM accretion halos. But there are indications from the interaction with other gaseous components.
