How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are intimately linked to the solar wind: rotation, magnetism and activity. Given that we cannot access data from the solar wind 4 billion years ago, this review relies on stellar data, in an effort to better place the Sun and the solar wind in a stellar context. I overview some clever detection methods of winds of solar-like stars, and derive from these an observed evolutionary sequence of solar wind mass-loss rates. I then link these observational properties (including, rotation, magnetism and activity) with stellar wind models. I conclude this review then by discussing implications of the evolution of the solar wind on the evolving Earth and other solar system planets. I argue that studying exoplanetary systems could open up new avenues for progress to be made in our understanding of the evolution of the solar wind.

  1. Volcanic Satellites and Ion Escape in the Magnetospheres of Ultra-Cool and Brown Dwarf Stars

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Plasma feeding the radio magnetosphere of LSR J1835+3259 could be sourced by a weak stellar ionospheric outflow or, more plausibly, by a tidally heated Io-like volcanic satellite orbiting within ~10 stellar radii.

  2. Low-frequency observations of low-mass binary systems with neutron star candidates

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 111 MHz archival search finds no periodic radio emission from five compact-object binaries and one ambiguous 13 Jy, 0.13 s burst toward J1527+3536.
