A New Concept of Transonic Galactic Outflows in a Cold Dark Matter Halo
  with a Central Super-Massive Black Hole
  We study fundamental properties of isothermal, steady and spherically
symmetric galactic outflow in the gravitational potential of a cold dark matter
halo and a central super-massive black hole. We find that there are two
transonic solutions having different properties: each solution is mainly
produced by the dark matter halo and the super-massive black hole,
respectively. Furthermore, we apply our model to the Sombrero galaxy. In this
galaxy, Chandra X-ray observatory detected the diffuse hot gas as the trace of
galactic outflows while the star-formation rate is low and the observed gas
density distribution presumably indicates the hydrostatic equilibrium. To solve
this discrepancy, we propose a solution that this galaxy has a transonic
outflow, however, the transonic point forms in a very distant region from the
galactic center (?$\sim$ 127 kpc). In this slowly accelerated transonic
outflow, the outflow velocity is less than the sound velocity for most of the
galactic halo. Since the gas density distribution in this subsonic region is
similar to the hydrostatic one, it is difficult to distinguish the wide
subsonic region from hydrostatic state. Such galactic outflows are dfferent
from the conventional supersonic outflows observed in star-forming galaxies.
