Stellar Wind Driven Alfv\'en Wing Dynamics in Planetary and Exoplanetary Magnetospheres
Systematic 3D resistive MHD simulations find that Alfvén wings narrow and close with higher stellar wind speeds, open with stronger stellar magnetic fields, and show linear scaling between magnetotail length and upstream forcing parameters.
