Martian Ionospheric Cold Hydrogen Ion Escape at Solar Maximum: First Observations
The Astrophysical JournalThe water escape from Mars to space could be in the form of hydrogen and oxygen ions as driven by solar wind–Mars interactions. Although oxygen ion escape has been extensively investigated, the H ^+ escape rate was measured only at solar minimum.

Cross Sections for Planetary Systems Interacting with Passing Stars and Binaries
, 2015 Most planetary systems are formed within stellar clusters, and these environments can shape their properties. This paper considers scattering encounters between solar systems and passing cluster members, and calculates the corresponding interaction cross

Observational Evidence for the Modulation of Magnetopause Position by Solar Wind Turbulence
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIt has long been known that magnetopause position is primarily controlled by the solar wind dynamic pressure and the interplanetary magnetic field. This classical view, however, largely overlooks the ubiquitous role of solar wind turbulence. Consequently,

Star-exoplanet interactions: A growing interdisciplinary field in heliophysics
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Traditionally, heliophysics is characterized as the study of the near-Earth space environment, where plasmas and neutral gases originating from the Earth, the Sun, and other solar system bodies interact in ways that are detectable only through in-situ or

Habitability in Different Milky Way Stellar Environments: a Stellar Interaction Dynamical Approach
, 2013 Every Galactic environment is characterized by a stellar density and a velocity dispersion. With this information from literature, we simulated flyby encounters for several Galactic regions, numerically calculating stellar trajectories as well as orbits ...

3D model of hydrogen atmospheric escape from HD209458b and HD189733b: radiative blow-out and stellar wind interactions [PDF]
, 2013 Transit observations in Ly-alpha of HD209458b and HD189733b revealed signatures of neutral hydrogen escaping the planets. We present a 3D particle model of the dynamics of the escaping atoms, and calculate theoretical Ly-alpha absorption line profiles ...

Scaling properties of planetary calderas and terrestrial volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2012 Volcanism plays an important role in transporting internal heat of planetary bodies to their surface. Therefore, volcanoes are a manifestation of the planet's past and present internal dynamics. Volcanic eruptions as well as caldera forming processes are

Excitation and Propagation of Eccentricity Disturbances in Planetary Systems
, 2004 The high eccentricities of the known extrasolar planets remain largely unexplained. We explore the possibility that eccentricities are excited in the outer parts of an extended planetary disk by encounters with stars passing at a few hundreds of AU ...

Extrasolar Planet Interactions
, 2008 The dynamical interactions of planetary systems may be a clue to their formation histories. Therefore, the distribution of these interactions provides important constraints on models of planet formation.
