Helical field effect in solar/stellar wind

  • 1. Nagoya Univ., Toyokawa, Aichi (Japan). Solar-Terrestrial Environment Lab.

Description

Structure of the solar/stellar wind plasma and the helical magnetic field Bφ are studied by means of MHD simulation in an axisymmetric system. It is shown that, when the stellar rotation is much faster than the solar rotation, the magnetic pressure force -∇Bφ2 works and the interplanetary current is pinched along the rotation axis and the equatorial plane.
