Models of Planets and Brown Dwarfs in Mira Winds

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present numerical hydrodynamical models of the effects of planets or brown dwarfs orbiting within the extended atmosphere and wind formation zone of Mira variables. We find time-dependent wake dynamics and episodic accretion phenomena which may give rise to observable optical events and affect SiO maser emission.
