Abstract
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a companion to our galaxy that lies only one Milky Way diameter away, provides us with a unique opportunity to study galactic winds in great detail. When massive stars die, they explode through powerful supernovae explosions which release an enormous amount of energy which can drive galactic winds. We are using archival HI 21-cm emission line observation data from the GASS and GASKAP surveys as part of “The LMC’s Galactic Wind through the Eyes of ULYSSES” Hubble Legacy Archive program to understand the kinematic properties of this wind. With multiple gas clouds in every direction, we often detect complex structures that we are modeling using Specutils, a Python library for Gaussian fitting. This detailed analysis of a resolved galactic wind will ultimately aid in our knowledge by characterizing the kinematic boundary of the LMC’s winds from its disk.
