Understanding Our Heliospheric Shield: Laying the Groundwork to Predict Habitable Astrospheres
A presentation from 2021–2022 William Bentinck-Smith Fellow Merav Opher
Merav Opher, a professor in the Department of Astronomy at Boston University, is interested in understanding the cocoons around stars, called astrospheres and generated by the stellar winds as they move through the interstellar medium that surrounds them. Her research is focused in particular on understanding the heliosphere, the cocoon around the solar system, and lays the groundwork to predict habitable astrospheres.
During her Radcliffe year, Opher is tackling some of the most critical aspects at the center of heliospheric research: What is the shape of the heliosphere—is it comet-like with a long-tail, as described in the classic view, or is it a croissant-like shape, as Opher’s recent work advocates? And what is the physical mechanism driving the shape? Find out more at https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/peo....
