Abstract

In the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), galaxy interactions have triggered intense star formation throughout its disk. Using UV Hubble Space Telescope (HST) absorption-line observations towards an AGN and a LMC disk star projected only 100 pc away, we find gaseous outflows that are relatively symmetric in kinematics and properties on both sides of the galaxy's disk. These results when combined with previous studie provide compelling evidence that stellar activity drives a global, large-scale wind that permeates from its entire disk. As the LMC is the only galaxy where the connection between the stellar activity and galactic feedback can be fully resolved, these results provide insight into the effects of stellar feedback in further away galaxies.
