Velocity fields (colored arrows, left colorbars) and plasma pressure (color contours, right colorbars) in the xz-plane for the open MS (θB = 0°, top), semi-open MS (θB = 90°, middle), and closed (θB = 180°, bottom) MS cases. Projected stellar wind magnetic field lines are indicated as solid black lines within the xz-plane parallel to the ambient magnetic field. Closed and open magnetospheric field lines are colored in magenta.
