Signatures of Reconnection and a Split Heliospheric Tail in High-Energy Energetic Neutral Atoms

M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, J. F. Drake +10

The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliosph…

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…

Powerful Winds from Low-Mass Stars: V374 Peg

A. A. Vidotto, M. Jardine, M. Opher +2

The rapid rotation (P=0.44 d) of the M dwarf V374Peg (M4) along with its intense magnetic field point toward magneto-centrifugal acceleration of a coronal wind. In this work, we in…

Simulations of Winds of Weak-Lined T Tauri Stars. II.: The Effects of a Tilted Magnetosphere and Planetary Interactions

A. A. Vidotto, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1

Based on our previous work (Vidotto et al. 2009a), we investigate the effects on the wind and magnetospheric structures of weak-lined T Tauri stars due to a misalignment between th…

Simulations of Winds of Weak-Lined T Tauri Stars: The Magnetic Field Geometry and The Influence of the Wind on Giant Planet Migration

A. A. Vidotto, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1

By means of numerical simulations, we investigate magnetized stellar winds of pre-main-sequence stars. In particular we analyze under which circumstances these stars will present e…

Numerical Simulations of Magnetized Winds of Solar-Like Stars

A. A. Vidotto, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1

We investigate magnetized solar-like stellar winds by means of self-consistent three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) numerical simulations. We analyze winds with differ…
