M82, a starburst galaxy often referred to as the "Cigar Galaxy", is thought to exhibit strong superwinds.[1]
A galactic superwind, or just galactic wind, is a high velocity stellar wind emanating from either newly formed massive stars, spiral density waves, or as the result of the effects of supermassive black holes.[2] They are normally observed in starburst galaxies.[3][4]
