Description
Here we present a self-consistent stationary solution for spherically symmetric winds driven by massive star clusters under the impact of radiative cooling. We demonstrate that cooling may modify drastically the distribution of temperature if the rate of injected energy approaches a critical value and that the stationary wind solution does not exist if the energy deposition rate exceeds this limit. Finally, we discuss the expected appearance of the supergalactic winds driven by multiple super-star clusters.
