Dust in and Around the Heliosphere and Astrospheres. [PDF]
AbstractInterstellar dust particles were discovered in situ, in the solar system, with theUlyssesmission’s dust detector in 1992. Ever since, more interstellar dust particles have been measured inside the solar system by various missions, providing insight into not only the composition of such far-away visitors, but also in their dynamics and ...

A significative fraction of all massive stars in the MilkyWay move supersonically through their local interstellar medium (ISM), producing bow shock nebulae by wind-ISM interaction. The stability of these observed astrospheres around cool massive stars challenges precedent 2D (magneto-)hydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of their surroundings.

Examining simulated MHD shock structures of astrospheres [PDF]
In dieser Arbeit werden verschiedene Untersuchungen an magnetohydrodynamischen Modellen von Astrosphären (ASn) präsentiert. Die Schockstrukturen der ASn um vier Sterne, den schnell-laufenden O-Stern \(\lambda\) Cephei, die Sonne, unseren nächsten Nachbarn Proxima Centauri, und den M-Stern LHS 1140, wurden untersucht. Eine Methode zur Projektion von ASn,

Skymaps of observables of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic astrosphere models [PDF]
Context. Three-dimensional models of astrospheres have recently become of interest. However, comparisons between these models and observations are non-trivial because of the two-dimensional nature of observations. Aims. By projecting selected physical values of three-dimensional models of astrospheres onto the surface of a sphere that is centred on a ...

Exploration of the heliosphere and astrospheres with HST [PDF]
We present some recent results concerning the analysis of Hubble Space Telescope observations of Lyman-α absorption from the heliosphere and astrospheres. We present heliospheric absorption predictions from the first extended-tail 3-D MHD model of the global heliosphere, with kinetic neutrals.

Effects of stellar eruptions throughout astrospheres [PDF]
Stars like the Sun evolve from young, fast-rotating and very active stars to older, slowly rotating main-sequence stars like our own Sun. The changes in stellar magnetic fields and stellar activity of such solar analogs with stellar evolution and the change in their rotation period are described in Ch. 2 of Vol. III.

HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE CONSTRAINTS ON THE WINDS AND ASTROSPHERES OF RED GIANT STARS* [PDF]
ABSTRACT We report on an ultraviolet spectroscopic survey of red giants observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, focusing on spectra of the Mg ii h and k lines near 2800 Å in order to study stellar chromospheric emission, winds, and astrospheric absorption.

The numerical simulation of astrospheric evolution in different interstellar environments [PDF]
The interaction between the interstellar medium (ISM) and a stellar wind leads to the formation of an astrosphere. In this study, the evolution of astrospheres is simulated with a two-dimensional spherical hydrodynamic (HD) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, and a three-dimensional cartesian MHD model.

Particle Transport from First Principles in the Early Heliosphere: κ1 Ceti as a Case Study for the Young Sun [PDF]
Several studies of Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) modulation within the astrospheres of stars deemed to be proxies for the young Sun have concluded that the intensities of these particles would, at early stages of the Sun’s evolution, be negligible at 1 au ...
