Radioactive and kinematic tracers of feedback from massive stars
The mixing of ejecta from young stars into the interstellar medium is an important process in the interplay between star formation and galaxy evolution. A unique window into these processes is provided by the radioactive isotopes 26Al, traced by its γ-ray decay lines at 1.8 MeV. With a mean lifetime...
