Interaction of pulsar winds with interstellar medium
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005Time dependent numerical simulations show that the anisotropy of the energy flux and a weak magnetization of the pulsar winds result into formation of the most spectacular features in the central part of the plerions, namely the X‐ray tore and jet‐like outflows. We present the results of such simulations performed by our group.

Shielded by the wind: the influence of the interstellar medium on the environment of Earth
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2002We report on the recent studies on the long-term influence of cosmic rays on the Earth's environment. While on short time-scales solar activity is the driver for atmospheric changes suspected to be due to cosmic rays, for long time-scales the heliosphere, i.e.

Solar wind and interstellar medium coupling
2008An overview is given of the current state of theory and modelling for the interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium (ISM). The final frontiers of the solar wind, as it pushes itself into the ISM, have been an object of speculation and analysis for many years.

Interaction of a nonuniform solar wind with the local interstellar medium
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996Results from a fully time dependent three‐dimensional gasdynamic model of the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium are presented. Both subsonic and supersonic interstellar winds are considered, while the mediating effects of interstellar neutrals, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays are ignored.

Stellar Winds and their Interaction with the Interstellar Medium
1983The most massive stars are losing mass in the form of a more or less steady stellar wind, which blows during most of their lifetime. The energy and momentum of this stellar wind is so large that the wind blows a bubble into the interstellar medium (ISM). The amount of energy which is deposited into the ISM by the stellar wind during the lifetime of the

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.
