Probability of CME Impact on Exoplanets Orbiting M Dwarfs and Solar-Like Stars
C. Kay, M. Opher, M. Kornbleuth
Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) produce adverse space weather effects at Earth. Planets in the close habitable zone of magnetically active M dwarfs may experience more extreme…
Using the Coronal Evolution to Successfully Forward Model CMEs' In Situ Magnetic Profiles
C. Kay, N. Gopalswamy
Predicting the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) impact requires knowing if impact will occur, which part of the CME impacts, and its magnetic properties. We explore the rel…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Space Weather and Its Impact on Habitable Worlds
V. S. Airapetian, W. C. Danchi, C. F. Dong +33
The search of life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and a major priority for NASA. A key area of major progress since the NASA Astrobiology Strategy 2015 (N…
Global Trends of CME Deflections Based on CME and Solar Parameters
C. Kay, M. Opher, R. M. Evans
Accurate space weather forecasting requires knowledge of the trajectory of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), including any deflections close to the Sun or through interplanetary space…
Deflection and Rotation of CMEs from Active Region 11158
C. Kay, N. Gopalswamy, H. Xie +1
Between the 13 and 16 of February 2011 a series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) erupted from multiple polarity inversion lines within active region 11158. For seven of these CMEs…
Unveiling the Journey of a Highly Inclined CME: Insights from the March 13, 2012 Event with 110 Longitudinal Separation
F. Carcaboso, M. Dumbovic, C. Kay +8
A fast and wide Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupted from the Sun on 2012-03-13. Its interplanetary counterpart was detected in situ two days later by STEREO-A and near-Earth spacec…
