    A ∼15 kpc outflow cone piercing through the halo of the blue compact metal-poor galaxy SBS 0335-052E
    (2023) Herenz, E. C.; Inoue, J.; Salas, H.; Koenigs, B.; Moya-Sierralta, C.; Cannon, J. M.; Hayes, M.; Papaderos, P.; Oestlin, G.; Bik, A.; Le Reste, A.; Kusakabe, H.; Monreal-Ibero, A.; Puschnig, J.
    Context. Outflows from low-mass star-forming galaxies are a fundamental ingredient for models of galaxy evolution and cosmology. Despite seemingly favourable conditions for outflow formation in compact starbursting galaxies, convincing observational evidence for kiloparsec-scale outflows in such systems is scarce. Aims. The onset of kiloparsec-scale ionised filaments in the halo of the metal-poor compact dwarf SBS 0335-052E was previously not linked to an outflow. In this paper we investigate whether these filaments provide evidence for an outflow. Methods. We obtained new VLT/MUSE WFM and deep NRAO/VLA B-configuration 21 cm data of the galaxy. The MUSE data provide morphology, kinematics, and emission line ratios of H beta/H alpha and [O III]lambda 5007/H alpha of the low surface-brightness filaments, while the VLA data deliver morphology and kinematics of the neutral gas in and around the system. Both datasets are used in concert for comparisons between the ionised and the neutral phase. Results. We report the prolongation of a lacy filamentary ionised structure up to a projected distance of 16 kpc at SBH alpha = 1.5 x 10(-18) erg s cm(-2) arcsec(-2). The filaments exhibit unusual low H alpha/H beta approximate to 2.4 and low [O III]/H alpha similar to 0.4 - 0.6 typical of diffuse ionised gas. They are spectrally narrow (similar to 20 km s(-1)) and exhibit no velocity sub-structure. The filaments extend outwards from the elongated H I halo. On small scales, the N-HI peak is offset from the main star-forming sites. The morphology and kinematics of H I and H II reveal how star-formation-driven feedback interacts differently with the ionised and the neutral phase. Conclusions. We reason that the filaments are a large-scale manifestation of star-formation- driven feedback, namely limb-brightened edges of a giant outflow cone that protrudes through the halo of this gas-rich system. A simple toy model of such a conical structure is found to be commensurable with the observations.

    MOONS is the new Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph currently under construction for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at ESO. This remarkable instrument combines, for the first time, the collecting power of an 8-m telescope, 1000 fibres with individual robotic positioners, and both low- and high-resolution simultaneous spectral coverage across the 0.64-1.8 μm wavelength range. This facility will provide the astronomical community with a powerful, world-leading instrument able to serve a wide range of Galactic, extragalactic and cosmological studies. Construction is now proceeding full steam ahead and this overview article presents some of the science goals and the technical description of the MOONS instrument. More detailed information on the MOONS surveys is provided in the other dedicated articles in this Messenger issue....
