Astrospheres and Solar-like Stellar Winds [PDF]
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2004 Stellar analogs for the solar wind have proven to be frustratingly difficult to detect directly. However, these stellar winds can be studied indirectly by observing the interaction regions carved out by the collisions between these winds and the ...

Stellar feedback efficiencies: supernovae versus stellar winds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015 Stellar winds and supernova (SN) explosions of massive stars ('stellar feedback') create bubbles in the interstellar medium (ISM) and insert newly produced heavy elements and kinetic energy into their surroundings, possibly driving turbulence. Most of this energy is thermalized and immediately removed from the ISM by radiative cooling.

Hydrodynamics and Stellar Winds [PDF]
Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics, 2014 Stellar winds are a common phenomenon in the life of stars, from the dwarfs like the Sun to the red giants and hot supergiants, constituting one of the basic aspects of modern astrophysics.

A Review of the Theory of Galactic Winds Driven by Stellar Feedback
Galaxies, 2018 Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies are crucial to the process of galaxy formation and evolution, regulating star formation, shaping the stellar mass function and the mass-metallicity relation, and enriching the intergalactic medium with metals ...

Accretion‐powered Stellar Winds. II. Numerical Solutions for Stellar Wind Torques [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 [Abridged] In order to explain the slow rotation observed in a large fraction of accreting pre-main-sequence stars (CTTSs), we explore the role of stellar winds in torquing down the stars. For this mechanism to be effective, the stellar winds need to have relatively high outflow rates, and thus would likely be powered by the accretion process itself ...

Nonthermal Motions and Atmospheric Heating of Cool Stars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The magnetic processes associated with the nonthermal broadening of optically thin emission lines appear to carry enough energy to heat the corona and accelerate the solar wind.

, 2022 Stars produce stellar wind—a tenuous flow of magnetised plasma extending deep into circumstellar space. It is thought that forceful stellar wind can erode the atmospheres of planets lacking strong magnetic fields, and thus reduce the planets' potential ...
