X-ray detection of astrospheres around three main-sequence stars and their mass-loss rates

K. G. Kislyakova, M. Güdel, D. Koutroumpa +3

Non-thermal motions and atmospheric heating of cool stars

S. Boro Saikia, T. Lueftinger, V. S. Airapetian +6

The magnetic processes associated with the non-thermal broadening of optically thin emission lines appear to carry enough energy to heat the corona and accelerate the solar wind. W…

NIRwave: A wave-turbulence-driven solar wind model constrained by PSP observations

Simon Schleich, Sudeshna Boro Saikia, Udo Ziegler +2

We generate a model description of the solar wind based on an explicit wave-turbulence-driven heating mechanism, and constrain our model with observational data. We included an exp…

The crucial role of surface magnetic fields for stellar dynamos: Epsilon Eridani, 61 Cygni A, and the Sun

S. V. Jeffers, R. H. Cameron, S. C. Marsden +9

Cool main-sequence stars, such as the Sun, have magnetic fields which are generated by an internal dynamo mechanism. In the Sun, the dynamo mechanism produces a balance between the…

Do non-dipolar magnetic fields contribute to spin-down torques?

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Adam J. Finley +14

Main sequence low-mass stars are known to spin-down as a consequence of their magnetised stellar winds. However, estimating the precise rate of this spin-down is an open problem. T…

Estimating magnetic filling factors from Zeeman-Doppler magnetograms

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Colin P. Folsom +15

Low-mass stars are known to have magnetic fields that are believed to be of dynamo origin. Two complementary techniques are principally used to characterise them. Zeeman-Doppler im…
