A stellar wind is a flow of gas ejected from the upper atmosphere of a star. It is distinguished from the bipolar outflows characteristic of young stars...

"Stellar Wind" (or "Stellarwind"[citation needed]) was the code name of a warrantless surveillance program begun under the George W. Bush administration's...

Stellar wind is the flow of particles from the atmosphere of stars. Stellar wind may also refer to: Stellar Wind, the code name for certain United States...

A stellar-wind bubble is a cavity light-years across filled with hot gas blown into the interstellar medium by the high-velocity (several thousand km/s)...

Stellar Wind (foaled February 13, 2012) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse, known for her Eclipse Award winning three-year-old season, and later for...

main sequence 4.6 billion (4.6×109) years ago. Every star generates a stellar wind of particles that causes a continual outflow of gas into space. For most...

replenishes the ISM with matter and energy through planetary nebulae, stellar winds, and supernovae. This interplay between stars and the ISM helps determine...

charged particles known as a stellar wind. Massive stars and young stars have much stronger stellar winds than the Sun. The wind forms shock waves or hydrodynamical...

the generation of a stellar magnetic field. In its turn, the magnetic field of a star interacts with the stellar wind. As the wind moves away from the...

and features are not yet well understood, but binary central stars, stellar winds and magnetic fields may play a role. The first planetary nebula discovered...

The T Tauri wind — so named because of the young star currently in this stage—is a phenomenon indicative of the phase of stellar development between the...

conditions of density and pressure change dramatically due to blowing stellar wind. Bow shock occurs when the magnetosphere of an astrophysical object interacts...

separating a star's corona from the stellar wind defined as where the coronal plasma's Alfvén speed and the large-scale stellar wind speed are equal. It is named...

properties such as mass, scaling instead with the stellar wind mass flux impacting the planet. Stellar wind from TRAPPIST-1 could remove the atmospheres of...

colliding-wind binary is a binary star system in which the two members are massive stars that emit powerful, radiatively-driven stellar winds. The location...

In astrophysics, stellar nucleosynthesis is the creation of chemical elements by nuclear fusion reactions within stars. Stellar nucleosynthesis has occurred...

Tracy Raye Hickman (born November 26, 1955) is an American fantasy author and designer of games and virtual reality (VR) experiences. He co-authored the...

A stellar magnetic field is a magnetic field generated by the motion of conductive plasma inside a star. This motion is created through convection, which...

cases have been formulated. For smaller bodies particularly, light and stellar wind can cause significant perturbations to the attitude and direction of...

Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position (parallax) of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant stars. By extension...

η Carinae (Eta Carinae, abbreviated to η Car), formerly known as η Argus, is a stellar system containing at least two stars with a combined luminosity greater...

A star's mass will vary over its lifetime as mass is lost with the stellar wind or ejected via pulsational behavior, or if additional mass is accreted...
