Hubble Space Telescope Constraints on the Winds and Astrospheres of Red Giant Stars
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Müller, Graham M. Harper
We report on an ultraviolet spectroscopic survey of red giants observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, focusing on spectra of the Mg II h & k lines near 2800 A in order to study st…
Ulysses and IBEX Constraints on the Interstellar Neutral Helium Distribution
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller
We relax the usual assumption of Maxwellian velocity distributions in the interstellar medium (ISM) in the analysis of neutral He particle data from Ulysses and the Interstellar Bo…
Revisiting Ulysses Observations of Interstellar Helium
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Manfred Witte
We report the results of a comprehensive reanalysis of Ulysses observations of interstellar He atoms flowing through the solar system, the goal being to reassess the interstellar H…
Pulsational Mass Ejection in Be Star Disks
Nathaniel Kee, Stan Owocki, Richard Townsend +1
This work explores a Pulsationally Driven Orbital Mass Ejection (PDOME) model for the launching of Classical Be star disks. Under this model, a combination of rapid rotation and no…
Trajectories and Distribution of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Heliosphere
Jonathan D. Slavin, Priscilla C. Frisch, Hans-Reinhard Mueller +4
The solar wind carves a bubble in the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM), known as the heliosphere. Charged interstellar dust grains (ISDG) encountering the heliosphere may be d…
Primary neutral helium in the heliosphere
Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Jill H. Cohen
Two years of neutral measurements by IBEX-Lo have yielded several direct observations of interstellar neutral helium and oxygen during preferred viewing seasons. Besides the inters…
The Heliosphere in Time
H. -R. Müller, P. C. Frisch, B. D. Fields +1
Because of the dynamic nature of the interstellar medium, the Sun should have encountered a variety of different interstellar environments in its lifetime. As the solar wind intera…
Heliospheric Response to Different Possible Interstellar Environments
Hans-R. Mueller, Priscilla C. Frisch, Vladimir Florinski +1
At present, the heliosphere is embedded in a warm low density interstellar cloud that belongs to a cloud system flowing through the local standard of rest with a velocity near ~18…
New Mass Loss Measurements from Astrospheric Lyman-alpha Absorption
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Gary P. Zank +2
Measurements of stellar mass loss rates are used to assess how wind strength varies with coronal activity and age for solar-like stars. Mass loss generally increases with activity,…
Measured Mass Loss Rates of Solar-like Stars as a Function of Age and Activity
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Gary P. Zank +1
Collisions between the winds of solar-like stars and the local ISM result in a population of hot hydrogen gas surrounding these stars. Absorption from this hot H I can be detected…
Observational Estimates for the Mass-Loss Rates of Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri Using HST Lyman-alpha Spectra
Brian E. Wood, Jeffrey L. Linsky, Hans-Reinhard Mueller +1
We study H I Lyman-alpha absorption observed by the Hubble Space Telescope toward the nearby binary system Alpha Cen (G2 V+K0 V) and its distant companion star Proxima Cen (M5.5 Ve…
Hydrogen Lyman-alpha Absorption Predictions by Boltzmann Models of the Heliosphere
Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Gary P. Zank
We use self-consistent kinetic/hydrodynamic models of the heliosphere to predict H I Lyman-alpha absorption profiles for various lines of sight through the heliosphere. These resul…
How to Count Kinks: From the Continuum to the Lattice and Back
Marcelo Gleiser, Hans-Reinhard Müller
We investigate the matching between (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear field theories coupled to an external stochastic environment and their lattice simulations. In particular, we focus…
Oscillons: Resonant Configurations During Bubble Collapse
E. J. Copeland, M. Gleiser, H. -R. Mueller
Oscillons are localized, non-singular, time-dependent, spherically-symmetric solutions of nonlinear scalar field theories which, although unstable, are extremely long-lived. We sho…
