"Bow shock" is the phenomenon in which the flow of plasma from this body is interrupted by a planetary magnetic field.
This body's differential rotation combines with magneto-hydro-dynamic effects to form a magnetic field known as the Parker spiral. Thermal columns in the convection zone cause the granulation of this body. The discovery of flavor oscillation resolved this body's namesake "neutrino problem." "Bow shock" is the phenomenon in which the flow of plasma from this body is interrupted by a planetary magnetic field. It creates its namesake "wind" as its corona expands into space. For 10 points, name this star that is one astronomical unit away from Earth.
