The properties of the solar wind, as measured in situ throughout the heliosphere, depend both on the characteristics of its coronal source and on the intrinsic processes governing its interplanetary evolution. Recently, radial and Parker…
Transport by meridional flows has significant consequences for stellar evolution, but is difficult to capture in global-scale numerical simulations because of the wide range of timescales involved. Stellar evolution models therefore usually…

Steady meridional flow makes no first-order perturbation to the frequencies of helioseismic normal modes. It does, however, Doppler shift the local wavenumber, thereby distorting the eigenfunctions. For high-degree modes, whose peaks in a…
