Specifically: (1) the flash was increased to 10e- for the F658N exposures (2) the exposure time for the F555W exposures was increased to 525 sec and the flash was removed (3) the exposure time for the F814W exposures was increased to 340 sec and the flash was removed -1090529575 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Wed Jun 26 19:55:25 GMT 2013) ----- ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Thu Aug 22 13:29:18 GMT 2013) ----- ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Mon Oct 07 02:51:12 GMT 2013) ----- Mapping MgII Emission in the M82 Superwind: A Rosetta Stone for Understanding Feedback in the Distant Universe Galactic-scale outflows driven by star formation are a pervasive feature of galaxy formation models, and are required to prevent the overproduction of low-mass galaxies by regulating their cool gas supply. Winds from star-forming galaxies are commonly observed in the local Universe and out to z~6; however, empirical constraints on the spatial extent and energetics of winds in distant systems have been very challenging to obtain. Our group has pioneered the study of outflows in emission using resonantly-scattered MgII 2796, 2803 photons, a method which has the potential to map the spatial extent and morphology of galactic winds out to z~2. To take full advantage of this technique, we request 15 orbits for WFC3/UVIS narrow-band imaging of the prototypical starburst M82 to map its superwind in MgII emission. This map will trace photons resonantly scattered from cool, photoionized gas flowing from this galaxy for the first time. Unlike optical nebular lines, scattered MgII emission is an unbiased probe of T<10^4 K material, and will thus reveal a heretofore hidden component of the M82 outflow. This pilot program will focus on a single WFC3/UVIS pointing, and will leverage an extensive suite of archival WFC3/UVIS and ACS observations including H-alpha, H-beta, [OII], [OIII] and [SII] narrow-band imaging. This HST coverage, along with existing soft X-ray and CO emission maps, will yield the most detailed constraints on the physical state of gas in a galactic superwind to date, providing a crucial link between local and high-redshift studies of this phenomenon. Such constraints are fundamental to understanding the impact of feedback processes on galaxy evolution. We will use WFC3/UVIS to obtain very deep Mg II narrow-band images of a single pointing centered at the base of M82's southern outflow cone. Coverage of this pointing is particularly valuable, as it has already been observed as part of the WFC3 Early Release Science Program (ID 11360) in several passbands, including the F225W, F336W, F373N, F487N, F502N, and F673N filter bands. These data provide narrow-band observations of [O II], H-alpha, [O III], and [S II] emission, as well as broad-band measurements of the UV continuum emission. The former, combined with the deep archival ACS/WFC H-alpha narrow-band coverage and our new F280N imaging (obtained over 14 orbits), will permit detailed modeling of the ionization state of the gas in this area of the outflow. The latter broad-band imaging, which we supplement with 1 orbit of observations in the F336W filter for increased depth and to ensure full overlap with the F280N pointing, will provide measurements of the UV continuum flux both from star-forming regions and from the outflow itself close to and on either side of the wavelength of the targeted emission. This will minimize the effects of systematic continuum-subtraction errors on our line emission maps.
