Abstract

It has long been suspected that winds of thermal and/or relativistic particles are a common feature of both active and normal galaxies. Galactic winds are likely to be an important mechanism, particularly at high redshift, by which energy and metals from galaxies are subsequently dumped into the intergalactic medium. Both observational and theoretical studies of wind processes remain in their infancy, largely because astrophysical winds are difficult to detect. Future satellite missions will make systematic surveys possible for the first time. In this review, we summarise the current evidence for galactic-scale winds, particularly in energy bands where the wind emission is spatially resolved. We also discuss observational limitations and problems of interpretation.
