Nonequilibrium Ionization States within Galactic Outflows: Explaining Their O vi and N v Column Densities

We present a suite of one-dimensional spherically symmetric hydrodynamic simulations that study the atomic ionization structure of galactic outflows. We track the ionization state of the outflowing gas with a nonequilibrium atomic chemistry network that includes photoionization, photoheating, and io...
