Outflow velocity vs. SFR Voff ~ SFR0.35 Martin 2005
Sample: SDSS DR7 star forming galaxies • 0.05<z<0.18 • r-band fracDeV<0.8 • D4000<1.5
Main steps of data analysis stellar Na D Absorption Disk-like(v=0) ISM outflow 1. stack spectra (i, Av, SFR, SSFR, M* ...) 2. subtract stellar contribution (CB08) 3. fit ISM absorption with two components

Two-component fit of ISM Na D • Line center shift: • outflow velocity Voff • Line strength (EW): • covering factor Cf • Line widthb • Line ratio τ0

Outflow velocity vs. SFR Voff ~ SFR0.3
Summary • outflow is perpendicular to the disk and has an opening angle of ~60 degree • disk component is highly dependent on the dust extinction, and secondarily on SFR surface density • outflow component depends on SFR surface density strongly and secondarily on Av • we do not find the correlation between outflow velocity • and SFR from our sample, more observations on the low SFR end are needed

Outflows are ubiquitous in galaxies in which the global SFR per unit area exceeds roughly 0.1 solar mass per year per kpc^2 • (Heckman et al. 2002) • Are there any outflows in local normal star forming galaxies?
Two categories of the gas in a SF/SB galaxy wind • Ambient interstellar medium • Energetic fluid created by thermalization of the SB’s stellar eject • The hydrodynamical interaction between these two generates the multiphase starburst-driven galactic wind.
Observations of multiphase wind (cold, warm, hot gas & dust) • X-ray • Morphology and kinematics of interstellar emission lines (e.g. Ha…) • Outflow kinematics in the interstellar absorption lines (e.g. MgII, NaD)
