The Solar Wind and Its Interaction with the Interstellar Medium
2010The solar wind is a magnetized plasma of ions and electrons which flows outward from the Sun. This chapter begins with a brief history of the discovery of the solar wind. Solar wind properties at 1 AU are discussed as well as how these properties change over a solar cycle.

Interaction between the interstellar medium and solar wind plasma
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1973The interaction processes governing the penetration of the interstellar gas into the solar neighbourhood are re-examined — as well as photo-ionization and charge-exchange processes, proton elastic collisions and electron ionizations help reduce the nearby gas densities.

Interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium: A multifluid approach
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996A distinct fluid description for neutral hydrogen originating from either the interstellar medium, the heliosheath, or the solar wind has been developed to describe the detailed interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) [Williams et al., 1995].

Numerical Simulations of Interaction between Stellar Wind and Interstellar Medium
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1989Hydrodynamic interaction between supersonic spherical wind emitted from an astronomical object and a uniform streaming flow is simulated numerically assuming the flow to be axisymmetric, adiabatic and inviscid. Examples of such a phenomenon are a comet in the solar wind, and the solar wind or a stellar wind in an interstellar medium. Three cases of the

Similarity solution for the interaction of the stellar wind with surrounding interstellar medium
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1984Similarity solution for the interaction of stellar wind with surrounding interstellar medium is obtained on the base of momentum conservation. The conversion efficiency of kinetic energy of stellar wind into the kinetic energy of expanding shell is derived.

The global impact of stellar winds and supernovae on the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2015 The interstellar medium is an extremely heterogeneous mixture of gas and dust which fills the space between stars in galaxies. The life-cycle of stars is deeply connected with the presence of this medium. Massive stars form from very high density/low temperature gas and evolve for millions of years.

Reduced Models of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Interstellar Medium and the Solar Wind
1999Recent developments in the derivation of reduced models for weakly compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are discussed. A four-field system of equations has been derived from the compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations to describe turbulence in the interstellar medium and the solar wind.

Radiowave scattering observations of turbulence in the solar wind and the interstellar medium
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007Turbulence in a plasma medium produces random fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of a radio wave which propagates through that medium. These amplitude and phase fluctuations can produce blurring of images, temporal and spatial fluctuations in the intensity of the received radiation, broadening of a monochromatic radio signal, and other effects ...

Interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium: a theoretical perspective
Space Science Reviews, 1999The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is attracting renewed interest, thanks to the possibility that the Voyager spacecraft may, in the not too distant future, cross the heliospheric termination shock. This has spurred the development of increasingly sophisticated models which attempt to describe various aspects of
