Abstract : Galaxies interact with the intergalactic medium (IGM) through a variety of physical process, ranging from gravitation to mechanical processes (jets and outflows), through radiative and particle interactions (cosmic rays). New results from hydrodynamical simulations on the relevance of galactic outflows driven by star formation processes to IGM will be presented, for the mechanical and radiation aspects. We will also present the results of analytical calculations regarding the extent of patchy heating of IGM by cosmic rays arising from star forming galaxies.
