The Magnetic Early B-type Stars III: A main sequence magnetic, rotational, and magnetospheric biography
M. E. Shultz, G. A. Wade, Th. Rivinius +10
Magnetic confinement of stellar winds leads to the formation of magnetospheres, which can be sculpted into Centrifugal Magnetospheres (CMs) by rotational support of the corotating…
HD 35502: a hierarchical triple system with a magnetic B5IVpe primary
James Sikora, Gregg Wade, David Bohlender +8
We present our analysis of HD~35502 based on high- and medium-resolution spectropolarimetric observations. Our results indicate that the magnetic B5IVsnp star is the primary compon…
The Magnetic Early B-type Stars I: Magnetometry and Rotation
M. E. Shultz, G. A. Wade, Th. Rivinius +7
The rotational and magnetic properties of many magnetic hot stars are poorly characterized, therefore the MiMeS and BinaMIcS collaborations have collected extensive high-dispersion…
The magnetic field and magnetosphere of Plaskett's star: A fundamental shift in our understanding of the system
J. H. Grunhut, G. A. Wade, C. P. Folsom +7
Plaskett's "star" appears to be one of a small number of short-period binary systems known to contain a hot, massive, magnetic star. Building on the 2013 discovery investigation, w…
The Magnetic Early B-type Stars IV: Breakout or Leakage? H emission as a diagnostic of plasma transport in centrifugal magnetospheres
M. E. Shultz, S. Owocki, Th. Rivinius +15
Rapidly rotating early-type stars with strong magnetic fields frequently show H emission originating in Centrifugal Magnetospheres (CMs), circumstellar structures in which cent…
NU Ori: a hierarchical triple system with a strongly magnetic B-type star
M. Shultz, J. -B. Le Bouquin, Th. Rivinius +13
NU Ori is a massive spectroscopic and visual binary in the Orion Nebula Cluster, with 4 components: Aa, Ab, B, and C. The B0.5 primary (Aa) is one of the most massive B-type stars…
The Magnetic Early B-type Stars II: stellar atmospheric parameters in the era of Gaia
M. E. Shultz, G. A. Wade, Th. Rivinius +6
Atmospheric parameters determined via spectral modelling are unavailable for many of the known magnetic early B-type stars. We utilized high-resolution spectra together with NLTE m…
