Two-face(s): ionized and neutral gas winds in the local Universe

We present a comprehensive study of the interstellar NaI $\lambda$5890, 5895 (NaD) resonant lines in a complete spectroscopic sample of $\sim 600,000$ passive, star-forming and starburst galaxies drawn from SDSS DR7 in order to look for cold-gas outflows in the local Universe. Individual galaxy spectra are stacked in bins of stellar mass and SFR and the dependence of galactic winds, with respect to the galaxies position in the SFR-$M_{\star}$ plane is investigated. While in most cases the interstellar medium (ISM) lines are fixed at the galaxy systemic velocity, at the higher SFR tail (SFR$>12.5 M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$), we find evidence of blue-shifted NaD absorption profiles, which we interpret as evidence of neutral outflowing gas. We explore the properties of the ISM in these galaxies with high SFR, in particular relating the absorption NaD line shape with the galaxy geometry in galaxies with different ionization mechanisms: AGN and star-formation. We find that: a) the ISM NaD absorption lines show a clear transition from a strong disk-like component, perfectly centered to the systemic velocity, in the edge-on system ($i > 50^\circ$ of the disk rotation axis), to an outflow, blue-shifted, component in face-on galaxies ($i < 50^\circ$); b) these trends are observed in galaxies classified as "purely" SF and AGN dominated objects. We compare the kinematics of the neutral gas with the kinematics of the ionized gas as traced by the [OIII]$\lambda$5007 emission lines. We find that, in these high SFR galaxies, the perturbations of the [OIII] emission line are present only in AGN or composite systems. In conclusion, we find that, in the local Universe, galactic winds show two faces which are related to two different ejection mechanisms, namely the neutral outflowing gas phase related to the star formation rate along the galaxy disk and the ionized winds related to the AGN feedback.
