M-dwarf stellar winds: the effects of realistic magnetic geometry on rotational evolution and planets

A. A. Vidotto, M. Jardine, J. Morin +3

We perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of stellar winds of early-M dwarf stars. Our simulations incorporate observationally reconstructed large-scale surface magnetic m…

On the Rotation of the Magnetic Field Across the Heliopause

Merav Opher, James F. Drake

There was an expectation that the magnetic field direction would rotate dramatically across the heliopause (HP). This rotation was used as one of the criteria to determine if Voyag…

The Multi-Species Farley-Buneman Instability in the Solar Chromosphere

Chad A. Madsen, Yakov S. Dimant, Meers M. Oppenheim +1

Empirical models of the solar chromosphere show intense electron heating immediately above its temperature minimum. Mechanisms such as resistive dissipation and shock waves appear…

Forecasting a Coronal Mass Ejection's Altered Trajectory: ForeCAT

Christina Kay, Merav Opher, Rebekah M. Evans

To predict whether a coronal mass ejection (CME) will impact Earth, the effects of the background on the CME's trajectory must be taken into account. We develop a model, ForeCAT (F…

A Porous, Layered Heliopause

M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake, M. Opher

The picture of the heliopause (HP) -- the boundary between the domains of the sun and the local interstellar medium (LISM) -- as a pristine interface with a large rotation in the m…

The Sloan digital sky survey data release 7 spectroscopic m dwarf catalog iii: The spatial dependence of magnetic activity in the galaxy

J. Sebastian Pineda, Andrew A. West, John J. Bochanski +1

We analyze the magnetic activity of 59,318 M dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. This analysis explores the spatial distribution of M dwarf activity as…
