Colliding Winds in Low-Mass Binary Star Systems: wind interactions and implications for habitable planets

, 2015
Context. In binary star systems, the winds from the two components impact each other, leading to strong shocks and regions of enhanced density and temperature.

Multipoint Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Martian Magnetotail Triggered by an Interplanetary Magnetic Field Rotation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The induced magnetosphere of Mars is highly dynamic, driven by both the upstream solar wind and the planet’s crustal magnetic fields. This variability can occur on timescales much shorter than a single spacecraft orbit, making it difficult to distinguish

Wave-Particle Interactions in Astrophysical Plasmas

Galaxies
Dissipation processes derived from the kinetic theory of gases (shear viscosity and heat conduction) are employed to examine the solar wind that interacts with planetary ionospheres.

Multi-scale comparative spectral analysis of satellite total solar irradiance measurements from 2003 to 2013 reveals a planetary modulation of solar activity and its non-linear dependence on the 11-year solar cycle

, 2013
Herein we adopt a multi-scale dynamical spectral analysis technique to compare and study the dynamical evolution of the harmonic components of the overlapping ACRIMSAT/ACRIM3, SOHO/VIRGO and SORCE/TIM total solar irradiance (TSI) records during 2003.15 ...

A 3D Parametric Venusian Bow Shock Model with the Effects of Mach Number and Interplanetary Magnetic Field

The Astronomical Journal
Using global magnetohydrodynamics simulations, we have developed a three-dimensional parametric model for the Venusian bow shock based on a generalized conic section function defined by six parameters, with the effects of the solar wind magnetosonic Mach

Planetary space weather: scientific aspects and future perspectives

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2016
In this paper, we review the scientific aspects of planetary space weather at different regions of our Solar System, performing a comparative planetology analysis that includes a direct reference to the circum-terrestrial case.

Statistics of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field from 0.1 to 30 au. II. Dynamical Variability

The Astrophysical Journal
The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) governs the coupling between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres through a series of complex interactions.

Earth as a Hybrid Planet - The Anthropocene in an Evolutionary Astrobiological Context

, 2017
We develop a classification scheme for the evolutionary state of planets based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of their coupled systems, including the presence of a biosphere and the possibility of what we call an agency-dominated biosphere (i.e ...

Solar Wind Control of the Martian Magnetotail Current Sheet and Magnetic Reconnection

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic reconnection is a rapid process that releases magnetic free energy stored in current sheets (CSs), driving various explosive phenomena throughout the Universe. In planets within the solar system, reconnection is controlled by both the solar wind

Comparison of terrestrial and Martian TEC at dawn and dusk during solstices

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
This paper used the similarities between the ionospheres on Mars and Earth, the most similar of the terrestrial planets, to examine the relative importance of photochemical and transport processes at dawn and dusk.
