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…
Planetary protection in the extreme environments of low-mass stars
A. A. Vidotto, M. Jardine, J. Morin +3
Recent results showed that the magnetic field of M-dwarf (dM) stars, currently the main targets in searches for terrestrial planets, is very different from the solar one, both in t…
The effects of stellar winds and magnetic fields on exoplanets
A. A. Vidotto
The great majority of exoplanets discovered so far are orbiting cool, low-mass stars whose properties are relatively similar to the Sun. However, the stellar magnetism of these sta…
Exoplanet Transit Variability: Bow Shocks and Winds Around HD 189733b
J Llama, A. A. Vidotto, M. Jardine +3
By analogy with the solar system, it is believed that stellar winds will form bow shocks around exoplanets. For hot Jupiters the bow shock will not form directly between the planet…
Effects of M dwarf magnetic fields on potentially habitable planets
A. A. Vidotto, M. Jardine, J. Morin +3
We investigate the effect of the magnetic fields of M dwarf (dM) stars on potentially habitable Earth-like planets. These fields can reduce the size of planetary magnetospheres to…
Influence of surface stressing on stellar coronae and winds
M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto, A. van Ballegooijen +4
The large-scale field of the Sun is well represented by its lowest energy (or potential) state. Recent observations, by comparison, reveal that many solar-type stars show large-sca…
