The DUVET Survey: Resolved maps of star formation-driven outflows in a compact, starbursting disc galaxy

We study star formation-driven outflows in a z ~ 0.02 starbursting disc galaxy, IRAS08339+6517, using spatially resolved measurements from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI). We develop a new method incorporating a multistep process to determine whether an outflow should be fit in each spaxel, and then subsequently decompose the emission line into multiple components. We detect outflows ranging in velocity, v_out, from 100 to 600 km s^-1 across a range of star formation rate surface densities, Σ_SFR, from ~0.01 to 10 M_⊙ yr^-1 kpc^-2 in resolution elements of a few hundred parsec. Outflows are detected in ~100 per cent of all spaxels within the half-light radius, and ~70 per cent within r₉₀, suggestive of a high covering fraction for this starbursting disc galaxy. Around 2/3 of the total outflowing mass originates from the star forming ring, which corresponds to ${\lt}10{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ of the total area of the galaxy. We find that the relationship between v_out and the Σ_SFR, as well as between the mass loading factor, η, and the Σ_SFR, are consistent with trends expected from energy-driven feedback models. We study the resolution effects on this relationship and find stronger correlations above a re-binned size-scale of ~500 pc. Conversely, we do not find statistically significant consistency with the prediction from momentum-driven winds.
