Summary
| Description |
English: Simulated stellar wind environment for the Proxima Cen system. Multidomain models for activity minimum (left) and maximum (right) are shown. The top panels contain the dynamo-generated surface field distributions (in G) used to drive the AWSoM solution within the innermost module (SC; middle panels). This domain contains the orbits of Proxima b (white solid) and the tentative innermost planet Proxima d (white dashed). The purple isosurface corresponds to the Alfvén surface of the stellar wind (${M}_{{\rm{A}}}=1$; see the text for details). The steady-state solution is propagated from the coupling region (105–110 R★) to the entire IH domain (4500 R★ in each Cartesian direction; bottom panels). This domain contains the orbit of Proxima c (yellow). Magenta and green isosurfaces delimitate the slow (${U}_{{\rm{r}}}\lesssim 750$ km s−1) and fast (${U}_{{\rm{r}}}\gtrsim 1500$ km s−1) wind sectors, respectively. Color-coded is the wind dynamic pressure (${P}_{\mathrm{dyn =\rho \,{U}^{2}$) normalized to the nominal Sun–Earth value (∼ 1.5 nPa), visualized on the equatorial plane of both domains. Selected magnetic field lines are shown in white. |
