Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Magnetic Interaction of Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections with Close-in Exoplanets: Implication on Planetary Mass Loss and Ly-α Transits
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) erupting from the host star are expected to have effects on the atmospheric erosion processes of the orbiting planets. For planets with a magnetosphere, the embedded […]

Influence Of Upstream Solar Wind On Magnetic Field Distribution In The Martian Nightside Ionosphere
This study is led by Postdoctoral researcher Jiawei Gao from IGGCAS. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global dipolar magnetic field; the planet does have locally distributed crustal magnetic fields.

Multi-wavelength Campaign Observations of a Young Solar-type Star, EK Draconis I. Discovery of Prominence Eruptions Associated with Superflares
Young solar-type stars frequently produce superflares, serving as a unique window into the young Sun-Earth environments. Large solar flares are closely linked to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with filament/prominence […]

On Earth’s Habitability Over The Sun’s Main-sequence History: Joint Influence Of Space Weather And Earth’s Magnetic Field Evolution
The aim of this study is to analyze the Earth habitability with respect to the direct exposition of the Earth atmosphere to the solar wind along the Sun’s evolution on […]
