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…
