Dave Strickland is an astrophysicist credited as first author of a study of X-rays from the M82 galactic wind, with Trevor Ponman and Ian Stevens. Their analysis detected wind emission several kiloparsecs from the galaxy and compared its spectrum at different heights.
The spatial variation showed why an integrated brightness alone is insufficient: different regions constrain the gas temperature, distribution and plausible heating mechanisms. The paper's archive byline uses Dave Strickland and lists the University of Birmingham affiliation.[ref]
