Adaptive numerical algorithms in space weather modeling
Gabor Toth,Bart van der Holst,Igor V. Sokolov,D. L. De Zeeuw,Tamas I. Gombosi,Fang Fang,Ward B. Manchester,Xing Meng,Dalal Najib,Kenneth G. Powell,Quentin F. Stout,Alex Glocer,Yingjuan Ma,Merav Opher +13 more
TL;DR: The framework and the adaptive algorithms enable physics-based space weather modeling and even short-term forecasting and the algorithms of BATL, the Block-Adaptive Tree Library, are described and its efficiency and scaling properties for various problems are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prebiotic chemistry and atmospheric warming of early Earth by an active young Sun
Vladimir Airapetian,Alex Glocer,Guillaume Gronoff,Eric Hébrard,Eric Hébrard,William C. Danchi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that interactions between powerful solar flares and Earth's magnetic field could have facilitated nitrogen fixation in the early atmosphere, which is needed to convert N2 into compounds essential for life.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Hospitable Are Space Weather Affected Habitable Zones? The Role of Ion Escape
Vladimir Airapetian,Alex Glocer,George V. Khazanov,Robert O. P. Loyd,Jan Josef Sojka,William C. Danchi,Michael W. Liemohn +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, non-thermal oxygen ion escape could be as important as thermal, hydrodynamic H escape in removing the constituents of water from exoplanetary atmospheres under supersolar XUV irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetospheric Structure and Atmospheric Joule Heating of Habitable Planets Orbiting M-dwarf Stars
Ofer Cohen,Jeremy J. Drake,Alex Glocer,Cecilia Garraffo,Katja Poppenhaeger,Jared Bell,Aaron J. Ridley,Tamas I. Gombosi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetospheric structure and the ionospheric Joule Heating of planets orbiting M-dwarf stars in the habitable zone were studied using a set of magnetohydrodynamic models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling ionospheric outflows and their impact on the magnetosphere, initial results
TL;DR: The Polar Wind Outflow Model (PWOM) as mentioned in this paper is a field-aligned, multifluid, multifield line polar wind code to simulate the ionospheric outflow, which is coupled to the ionosphere electrodynamics and global magnetosphere components of the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF).
