<Ian Stevens> is an <astrophysicist> whose research includes massive <stars> and <stellar winds>. He coauthored an analysis of <X-ray> observations of the <galactic wind> in the <starburst galaxy> M82.
The team compared diffuse emission with models of a freely expanding wind and of clouds heated by shocks. The observations favoured shocked clouds over the simple free-wind model, showing how radiation can identify which component of an outflow is being measured.<ROSAT Observations of the Galactic Wind in M82 by Dave Strickland and others>[Abstract, model comparison; 1996 preprint, 1997 journal article]{ref}
