- The stellar wind from any stars in a simulation will affect the Magnetosphere Size of a Planetary Body object.
Models[edit | edit source]
Universe Sandbox simulates stellar wind only through its effect on an object's magnetosphere. In the Universe Sandbox model, stellar wind is spherically symmetric, and the stellar wind pressure due to a star with a luminosity of L at a distance D from the object is
where c is the speed of light.
