Stellar Winds and the Interstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1983
AbstractTheoretical models for the interaction of stellar winds and the interstellar medium are described. Stellar wind energy sources are listed, and observations of expanding shells around stars and star clusters are reviewed. Giant expanding shells, or “superbubbles,” with radius > 100 pc, are formed by the combined action of stellar winds and ...

Filtration of Interstellar Neutral Helium by Elastic and Charge Exchange Collisions in Heliospheric Boundaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms penetrating the heliosphere are used to find the flow velocity and temperature of the very local interstellar medium near the heliosphere.

Asymmetric mass-loss from the white dwarf WD 0253+209 : Secret revealed

open access: yesBibechana, 2012
Dust structures around the white dwarf WD 0253+209 is studied in 100 and 60 micron infrared image. These images are received from Infrared Astronomical Satellite Survey (IRAS Survey).

Applications of Abundance Data and Requirements for Cosmochemical Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Understanding the evolution of the universe from Big Bang to its present state requires an understanding of the evolution of the abundances of the elements and isotopes in galaxies, stars, the interstellar medium, the Sun and the heliosphere, planets and

Are the Heliosphere, Very Local Interstellar Medium, and Local Cavity in Pressure Balance with Galactic Gravity?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Voyager spacecraft are providing the first in situ measurements of physical properties in the outer heliosphere beyond the heliopause. These data, together with data from the IBEX and Hubble Space Telescope and physical models consistent with these ...

Solar cycle influence on the interaction of the solar wind with Local Interstellar Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present results of a new time-dependent kinetic model of the H atom penetration through the solar wind - interstellar medium interaction region.

Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or interstellar medium.

The Role of Electrons and Helium Atoms in Global Modeling of the Heliosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a new three-dimensional, MHD-plasma/kinetic-neutrals model of the solar wind (SW) interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM), which self-consistently includes neutral hydrogen and helium atoms.

Mass-loading of bow shock pulsar wind nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the dynamics of bow shock nebulae created by pulsars moving supersonically through a partially ionized interstellar medium. A fraction of interstellar neutral hydrogen atoms penetrating into the tail region of a pulsar wind will undergo ...

Exploring turbulence from the Sun to the local interstellar medium: Current challenges and perspectives for future space missions

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Turbulence is ubiquitous in space plasmas. It is one of the most important subjects in heliospheric physics, as it plays a fundamental role in the solar wind—local interstellar medium interaction and in controlling energetic particle transport and ...
