We model the cometary structure around Mira as the interaction of an AGB wind from Mira A, and a streaming environment. Our simulations introduce the following new element: we assume that after 200 kyr of evolution in a dense environment Mira entered the Local Bubble (low density coronal gas). As Mira enters the bubble, the head of the comet expands quite rapidly, while the tail remains well collimated for a 100 kyr timescale. The result is a broad-head/narrow-tail structure that resembles the observed morphology of Miras comet. The simulations were carried out with our new adaptive grid code WALICXE, which is described in detail.

We present a 3D numerical simulation of the recently discovered cometary structure produced as Mira travels through the galactic ISM. In our simulation, we consider that Mira ejects a steady, latitude-dependent wind, which interacts with a homogeneou
s, streaming environment. The axisymmetry of the problem is broken by the lack of alignment between the direction of the relative motion of the environment and the polar axis of the latitude-dependent wind. With this model, we are able to produce a cometary head with a ``double bow shock which agrees well with the structure of the head of Miras comet. We therefore conclude that a time-dependence in the ejected wind is not required for reproducing the observed double bow shock.
Herschels PACS instrument observed the environment of the binary system Mira Ceti in the 70 and 160 micron bands. These images reveal bright structures shaped as five broken arcs and fainter filaments in the ejected material of Miras primary star. Th
e overall shape of the IR emission around Mira deviates significantly from the expected alignment with Miras exceptionally high space velocity. The observed broken arcs are neither connected to each other nor are they of a circular shape; they stretch over angular ranges of 80 to 100 degrees. By comparing Herschel and GALEX data, we found evidence for the disruption of the IR arcs by the fast outflow visible in both Halpha and the far UV. Radial intensity profiles are derived, which place the arcs at distances of 6-85 (550 - 8000 AU) from the binary. Miras IR environment appears to be shaped by the complex interaction of Miras wind with its companion, the bipolar jet, and the ISM.
Aims. We present the first high-resolution non-equilibrium ionization simulation of the joint evolution of the Local Bubble (LB) and Loop I superbubbles in the turbulent supernova-driven interstellar medium (ISM). The time variation and spatial distr
ibution of the Li-like ions Civ, Nv, and Ovi inside the LB are studied in detail. Methods. This work uses the parallel adaptive mesh refinement code EAF-PAMR coupled to the newly developed atomic and molecular plasma emission module E(A+M)PEC, featuring the time-dependent calculation of the ionization structure of H through Fe, using the latest revision of solar abundances. The finest AMR resolution is 1 pc within a grid that covers a representative patch of the Galactic disk (with an area of 1 kpc^2 in the midplane) and halo (extending up to 10 kpc above and below the midplane). Results. The evolution age of the LB is derived by the match between the simulated and observed absorption features of the Li-like ions Civ, Nv, and Ovi . The modeled LB current evolution time is bracketed between 0.5 and 0.8 Myr since the last supernova reheated the cavity in order to have N(Ovi) < 8 times 10^12 cm-2, log[N(Civ) /N(Ovi) ] < -0.9 and log[N(Nv) /N(Ovi) ] < -1 inside the simulated LB cavity, as found in Copernicus, IUE, GHRS-IST and FUSE observations.
We present the discovery of a transiting exoplanet candidate in the K2 Field-1 with an orbital period of 9.1457 hr: K2-22b. The highly variable transit depths, ranging from $sim$0% to 1.3%, are suggestive of a planet that is disintegrating via the em
ission of dusty effluents. We characterize the host star as an M-dwarf with $T_{rm eff} simeq 3800$ K. We have obtained ground-based transit measurements with several 1-m class telescopes and with the GTC. These observations (1) improve the transit ephemeris; (2) confirm the variable nature of the transit depths; (3) indicate variations in the transit shapes; and (4) demonstrate clearly that at least on one occasion the transit depths were significantly wavelength dependent. The latter three effects tend to indicate extinction of starlight by dust rather than by any combination of solid bodies. The K2 observations yield a folded light curve with lower time resolution but with substantially better statistical precision compared with the ground-based observations. We detect a significant bump just after the transit egress, and a less significant bump just prior to transit ingress. We interpret these bumps in the context of a planet that is not only likely streaming a dust tail behind it, but also has a more prominent leading dust trail that precedes it. This effect is modeled in terms of dust grains that can escape to beyond the planets Hill sphere and effectively undergo `Roche lobe overflow, even though the planets surface is likely underfilling its Roche lobe by a factor of 2.
The peculiar morphology of Head-Tail (HT) radio galaxies indicates strong interactions between the radio jets and their intra-cluster medium. We systematically search for HT radio galaxies from LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey first data release (LoTSS DR1
) at 144 MHz frequency. We present here a catalogue of fifty new HT radio sources, among them, five are Narrow-Angle Tailed sources (NATs) and forty-five are Wide Angle Tailed sources (WATs). NATs are characterized by tails bent in a narrow V like shape with less than a ninety-degree opening angle. For WAT radio galaxies, the opening angle between jets is more than ninety degrees which exhibit wide C like morphologies. We found that thirty-one out of fifty HT sources are associated with known galaxy clusters. The various physical properties and statistical studies of these HT sources are also presented in this paper.
