"Spatially-resolved studies of super star cluster feedback in
starburst galaxies"
ABSTRACT:
I will focus on the programme we are undertaking to investigate the
state of the ionized gas surrounding super star clusters (SSCs) in
nearby starburst environments. Our ultimate aims are to better
understand the mechanisms of how SSCs drive gas outflows and
superwinds, and how they affect the continuing evolution of the
starburst. I will discuss recent results from a number of high spatial
and spectral resolution optical integral field spectroscopic studies
of local-group starbursts (NGC 1569, M82, NGC 5253).
