Fermi bubble clouds originate in both the disk and halo of the milky way

Ultraviolet-detected Fermi bubble clouds have metallicities that are consistent with the clouds having two origins: the Milky Way disk and halo. This result adds complexity to the previously

accepted picture that these clouds could only be launched from the disk of the Milky Way into the bubbles. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
