Table 2: Input parameters and results for the standoff distance $R_{\rm s}$. The stellar wind parameters n and v are given for a young parent star (0.5 Gyr) and for a parent star of the same age as the Sun (4.6 Gyr). The magnetic moment is taken from the results of Sect. 2 considering tidal locking (tidal lock.) and for comparison the case of fast rotation (fast rot.).
