A reduced grid space for Planetary Wind Runs

The stand-off distance for the stellar wind/planetary wind R_so can be computed simply by balancing the ram pressure

\rho_p v_p^2 = \rho_s v_s^2

\frac{\dot{M}_p}{4 \pi R_{so}^2 v_p} v_p^2 = \rho_s v_s^2

Thus we have

R_{so} = (\frac{\dot{M}_p v_p} {4 \pi \rho_s v_s^2})^{(1/2)}

Thus dropping the stellar wind density by 10 should increase the stand-off distance by ~ 3.

Also lets keep keep v_s the same and change the T_s to modify the Mach number

Here are the runs I think we should focus on
