Dust in and Around the Heliosphere and Astrospheres. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2022 Interstellar dust particles were discovered in situ, in the solar system, with the Ulysses mission’s dust detector in 1992. Ever since, more interstellar dust particles have been measured inside the solar system by various missions, providing insight ...

Hubble Space Telescope Constraints on the Winds and Astrospheres of Red Giant Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 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 stellar chromospheric emission, winds, and astrospheric absorption. We focus

Faint but Not Forgotten. I. First Results from a Search for Astrospheres around AGB Stars in the Far-ultraviolet [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Using the GALEX archive, we have discovered extended structures around ten asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars (out of a total 92 searched) emitting in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) band.

Astrospheres and Cosmic Rays [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018 Ionization plays a key role in the formation of stars, planets and planetary atmospheres. Cosmic rays (CR) are the main source of ionization, therefore it is important to estimate fluxes of galactic and stellar cosmic rays (GCR and SCR) for different ...

Shock structures of astrospheres [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 The interaction between a supersonic stellar wind and a (super-)sonic interstellar wind has recently been viewed with new interest. We here first give an overview of the modeling, which includes the heliosphere as an example of a special astrosphere ...

The global structure of astrospheres: Effect of Knudsen number [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of AustraliaThe interaction between stellar winds and the partially ionized local interstellar medium (LISM) is quite common in astrophysics. However, the main difficulty in describing the neutral components lies in the fact that the mean free path of an ...

Astrospheres of Planet-Hosting Cool Stars and Beyond ⋅ When Modeling Meets Observations
Space Science Reviews, 2022 Thanks to dedicated long-term missions like Voyager and GOES over the past 50 years, much insight has been gained on the activity of our Sun, the solar wind, its interaction with the interstellar medium, and, thus, about the formation, the evolution, and

On the problem of two-tail heliosphere/astrospheres
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018 We consider the effect of the solar/stellar wind collimation towards the solar/stellar wind rotation axis in the heliosheath between the termination shock and the heliopause/astropause.

Stellar Lyman-alpha Emission Lines in the Hubble Space Telescope Archive: Intrinsic Line Fluxes and Absorption from the Heliosphere and Astrospheres [PDF]
, 2005 We search the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archive for previously unanalyzed observations of stellar H I Lyman-alpha emission lines, our primary purpose being to look for new detections of Lyman-alpha absorption from the outer heliosphere, and to also ...

The Direction of the Flow of Interstellar Neutral H Based on Photometric Observations from SOHO/SWAN
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interstellar neutral hydrogen flows into the heliosphere as a mixture of the primary and secondary populations from two somewhat different directions due to splitting occurring in the magnetized outer heliosheath.
