Surface Alfven Wave Damping in a 3D Simulation of the Solar Wind
R. M. Evans, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1
Here we investigate the contribution of surface Alfven wave damping to the heating of the solar wind in minima conditions. These waves are present in regions of strong inhomogeneit…
Three-dimensional Numerical Simulations of Magnetized Winds of Solar-Like Stars
A. A. Vidotto, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1
By means of self-consistent 3D MHD numerical simulations, we analyze magnetized solar-like stellar winds and their dependence on the plasma-beta parameter. We adopt in our simulati…
Alfven waves as a driving mechanism in stellar winds
A. A. Vidotto, V. Jatenco-Pereira
Alfven waves have been invoked as an important mechanism of particle acceleration in stellar winds of cool stars. After their identification in the solar wind they started to be st…
The Effects of Alfven Waves and Radiation Pressure in Dust Winds of Late-type Stars
D. Falceta-Goncalves, V. Jatenco-Pereira
In the present study, we analyze the effects of a flux of Alfven waves acting together with radiation pressure on grains as an acceleration mechanism of the wind of late-type stars…
The role of damped Alfven waves on magnetospheric accretion models of young stars
M. J. Vasconcelos, V. Jatenco-Pereira, R. Opher
We examine the role of Alfven wave damping in heating the plasma in the magnetic funnels of magnetospheric accretion models of young stars. We study four different damping mechanis…
Evolution of active galactic nuclei broad-line region clouds: low- and high-ionization lines
D. R. Goncalves, A. C. S. Friaca, V. Jatenco-Pereira
The formation of quasar broad-line region (BLR) clouds via thermal instability in the presence of Alfven heating has been discussed by Goncalves et al. (1993a, 1996). In particular…
