Asteroseismology and spectropolarimetry: opening new windows on the internal dynamics of massive stars
arXiv:1408.4287 · doi:10.1017/S1743921314007303
Abstract
In this article, we show how asteroseismology and spectropolarimetry allow to probe dynamical processes in massive star interiors. First, we give a summary of the state-of-the-art. Second, we recall the MHD mechanisms that take place in massive stars. Next, we show how asteroseimology gives strong constraints on the internal mixing and transport of angular momentum while spectropolarimetry allows to unravel the role played by magnetic fields.
